i poked at the button in question some, and right now the menu shows on key down.

if this was moved to key up (as in, when its released), then one is free to implement some kind of trigger while the key is in down/pressed state.

the same can probably be done with other keys, as i have sometimes seen the plus and minus key be registered multiple times on some software.

problem is that this will have to be a community patch, as any enhancement bug filed over at maemo will probably just end up with "fixed in fremantle", meaning its a 50/50 chance one will even see it on the N8x0's...
