I have found that mnemonics for Motif defined in uil work fine. I have things like:
            XmCascadeButton {
                arguments {
                    XmNlabelString = "File";
                    XmNmnemonic = keysym("F");
                };
		.
		.
		.
            };

I get the F underlined correctly, and can pull down the menu with Alt-F.
I think that perhaps you should be using the keysym() function, not quoting the
key number directly. 

Hope this helps.
