 > If the response to arrow-clicking is random, then that's a bug that
 should be fixed.

 No. The problem is there's not a screenreader currently in existence with
 the ability to track and appropriately announce the new position of menu
 items when you've used the arrow keys to move them. If you want menu item
 8 to be between items 1 and 2, you're escentially guessing. You hit the
 arrow key in question, stop, make sure the item in question actually moved
 in the direction you want it to, make sure the screenreader hasn't
 accidentally ended up on the menu item now below it as a  result, and
 repeat. You can check visually to make sure the menu item(s) you're moving
 actually go where they're supposed to. We can't.

 > The problems with having an entirely separate system of menu-editing
 include the fact that it will be unknown to most users and more likely to
 break (because it's getting less attention).

 Assuming the menu editing system isn't drasticly changed between versions,
 that should be a non-issue. If it's too major a concern, then don't make a
 separate menu editing system. Just make this one more useable with
 adaptive technology.
