Found it! Being able to change menu shortcut keys is something that's been in GTK for a while, but it looks like it's turned off by default, and the user has to explicitly enable it.
System->Preferences->Appearance->Interface, check box 'Enable editable menu shortcut keys'. That does the trick. Maybe I did that (or something equivalent) in Debian Etch a year and a half ago, and forgot that I did it. Or maybe the feature was just enabled by default at that time, and has since been disabled by default. I have no idea why it works in Bluefish without being enabled, unless Bluefish bypasses GTK and does menus its own way. Anyway, thanks for the nudge, it helped me find the answer.
