There's one easy near-workaround for this: instead of starting the
menu with a hyphen (i.e., the other thing on the underscore key), use
a dash, which is option-hyphen.  The dash is a pixel or two longer
than the hyphen in Chicago font, but the difference is easy to
overlook.

(The reason for the difference is that in fonts meant to be printed,
the dash is notably longer than the hyphen, as it should be in a
manuscript.)
