Yes, respectfully, on

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of
2008-10-21 on g41r2f1

Following f10, I did e expecting to see the expansion of Edit while I was
looking for something ... tools for working on NEWS / texi source / elisp
source ... and having seen it happen in the not-too-recent past on maybe
other menu-bar-items, I'd finally report it.
