I'm seeing similar problems with a Popup menu button, using Rev
1.1.1r2, but it appears to be dependent on the global property
lookandfeel. When the lookandfeel is set to "Appearance Manager", it
works as documented, but when the lookandfeel is set to "Macintosh",
a slash is treated as a literal character.
This looks like a bug in the Macintosh lookandfeel implementation
under Mac OS X, which is the one we're supposed to be using, last I
checked since the "Appearance Manager" lookandfeel is related to a
crash under OS 10.2.
