I've noticed something similar.  I have a few menu items where I bind
their 'enabled' binding.  This seems to make them always enabled/
disabled based on that binding (which I guess makes sense).  However, it
means you loose the nice feature where they are auto-disabled based on
the responder chain.  So, for example, if a modal NSAlert is being
displayed, those menu items are still enabled.
