Also, what does a disabled menu item tell the user? He might not understand that it is because font lock is enabled. He might wonder if he is doing something wrong seeing that menu item disabled.
This makes no sense. Menu items are disabled when they are not applicable; users know that. Assuming the user notices that we disabled the menu item, your fix might work. What about users who use M-x apropos or similar to find commands and then used enter the commands with M-x, how would they know that this comment is currently "disabled", or not meant to be used? It might be a good idea to do that in addition.
