(Ooh! I know that one!)

The custom shortcut for Finder's File > Compress menu item continues to work, 
because Finder goes slightly out if its way to achieve it.  The item's -title 
remains unchanged as ”Compress”, even when you see "Compress “foo”" or 
"Compress 42 Items” -- in that case, you're seeing the -attributedTitle.  
(Ditto for "Burn to Disc…” item.)

Small downside: If you look carefully while the menu item is disabled, it looks 
a bit different from other disabled menu items.
