Comment (by usability.idealist):

 The following snippet, placed in the admin-menu.css (line 171 - 180), will
 achieve both the underline-focus as well as change the hover to white on
 dark background.


 {{{
         #adminmenu .wp-submenu a:hover,
         #adminmenu .wp-submenu a:focus {
                 background: #111;
         }

         #adminmenu a:hover,
         #adminmenu li.menu-top > a:focus,
         #adminmenu .wp-submenu a:hover,
         #adminmenu .wp-submenu a:focus {
                 color: #fff;
         }


         #adminmenu li.menu-top > a:focus,
         #adminmenu .wp-submenu a:focus {
                 text-decoration: underline;
         }
 }}}

 Would supply it as a patch, but I've got not enough time at hand right
 now, for properly setting all up, so that has to do it.


 Description: Focus stays on currently focused item, while the hover both
 highlights the currently focused parent menu item as well as the currently
 selected submenu item. If required, the parent menu item in focus could
 also be highlighted using the underline-focus.

 Also see the following screenshot:
