mail abbrev popup menu

[Ian Zimmerman]

In Message mode, a menu is inserted into the menubar listing the mail
abbrevs ("aliases").  Selecting an item from the menu inserts the
corresponding email address into the message buffer at point.  This
works. 

However, when I call the same menu using C-mouse-3 in the buffer, I
get

Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, (C-down-mouse-3 \
(#<window 26 on *news on gnu.emacs.bug*> 390 (169 . 157) -28928840))

Taking a cursory look at code in mail-abbrev-menu.el and menu-bar.el,
ultimately it relies on the last-command-event variable.  Is this
somehow set to the abbrev string when going through the menubar but
not through popup?  And why?
