Well, at least a reason: in Snow Leopard Apple wants to allow menu  
items to trigger without any modifiers at all.

So for example one could make ‘p’ without any modifiers toggle a  
palette. The problem with this is that if one opens e.g. the File menu  
and press ‘p’ to jump down to ‘Print…’ then that won’t work, instead  
the palette will toggle (because its menu item reacts on the ‘p’).

So Apple want to disable handling of menu item key equivalents (w/o  
modifiers) when menus are open. This breaks our use of 1-9 as shortcut  
keys. The present build is a test to see how well that works.
