You went from being right, to being wrong! The system straight from Apple's
system disks contain two Special menu resources, one with a "Sleep" function 
and one without. If you are using the Portable, then the Sleep version of the
Special menu is used.

Pyro 4.0 does indeed pull a little hack to use the Portable's version of the
Special menu for their own needs. I pretty creative hack I must say.
