It has something to do with what the engine needs to do to put the Mac 
menu into the system menubar. Whatever that is, it's the same reason you 
can't put scripts in menu buttons for Mac, you have to put them into the 
menu group. I think the buttons are essentially virtualized on a Mac and 
don't really exist when the menu is active in the system bar.

The target is the object that directly received the last message. On a 
Mac that would be the group (since the buttons aren't "real" there and 
didn't really receive a click. The first object to receive a message 
would be the group.) On Windows, the target would be the button itself 
because on that OS, the buttons really are a part of the object hierarchy.
