C-h k is overly verbose/wrong for some menu bindings

[Kim F. Storm]

Some menu bar entries refer to the same lisp function:

All entries on Edit=>Select and Paste=>[kill ring item]
runs menu-bar-select-yank.

Buffers selectable from the Buffer=>[buffer name] menu
runs menu-bar-select-buffer.


Now, if I run C-h k and click on one of the above item, I
get something like this:

: <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> ;; then enter the text in that file's own 
buffer. runs the command menu-bar-select-yank
:    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `menu-bar'.
: It is bound to <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> ;; then enter the text in 
that file's own buffer., <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> ;; If you want to 
create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,, <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> 
;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation..
: (menu-bar-select-yank)
:  
: Not documented.


or

: <menu-bar> <buffer> *Help* runs the command menu-bar-select-buffer
:    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `menu-bar'.
: It is bound to <menu-bar> <buffer> *Help*, <menu-bar> <buffer> *scratch*, 
<menu-bar> <buffer> *Messages*.
: (menu-bar-select-buffer)
:  
: Not documented.



This happens when there are just a few items in the kill ring or
a few buffers.  If there are more items, the output changes to:

: <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> ;; then enter the text in that file's own 
buffer. runs the command menu-bar-select-yank
:    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `menu-bar'.
: It is bound to many ordinary text characters.
: (menu-bar-select-yank)
:  
: Not documented.

It most definitely isn't bound to "many ordinary text characters".


Similar overly verbose and incorrect output is seen for 

C-h f menu-bar-select-yank and C-h f menu-bar-select-buffer.


Apropos is also hit: C-h a select buffer RET reports:

menu-bar-select-buffer        <menu-bar> <buffer> *Messages*, <menu-bar> 
<buffer> *scratch*, <menu-bar> <buffer> *Help*, <menu-bar> <buffer> *Apropos*
  Command: (not documented)
