That's only because _GetOSEvent doesn't call _SystemEvent, the routine
responsible for intercepting and acting on desk accessory events.

_MenuSelect calls _GetOSEvent instead of _GetNextEvent because events like
activate events and update events would be bad while a menu is open.

In HKMenus, I got CDAs to work while a menu is open by calling _SystemEvent
myself if _GetOSEvent returned a CDA event. (Notice that the highlight
bar disappears just before going to the CDA menus and reappears right
after)
