It's difficult to understand an explanation, if you do not understand the
terminology in the explanation. You need to understand the difference
between a menu bar and a system menu. The opening paragraphs in the Menu
chapter explain what a system menu and a menu bar are.
Then, when you understand that a system menu is not a menu bar, and the
explanation says that connection requests only apply to menu bars, I think
you would understand that a connection request doesn't apply to a system
menu.
Anyhow, that's why I try to answer any questions brought up here on
ooDialog. I don't claim that the doc is perfectly understandable. just
that it is better then it used to be. ;-)

The menu item was inserted wasn't it? So, it was successful wasn't it?
You choose to use an optional argument that is documented as being ignored
in the specific case you were using, and it was ignored wasn't it? That
doesn't seem strange to me that success was returned. ;-)
But, I see that in the doc, I could be a little more explicit in saying
that the connect argument is ignored if the menu is not a menu bar.
