I tried Help>Describe Function select_menu_item and got 

   select_menu_item: undefined  Undocumented

My suggestion is that these menu functions are internal and thus not
detected by the function is_defined(). However,
  is_internal("back_menu"); 
  is_internal("select_menu_item");
both return 0 :-(

OTOH, binding "back_menu" as proposed below works nice! And the ("wrong")
binding to "exit_menubar" worked since several versions.

How can I locate these "hidden" functions and fix the online-help error?
Are there more?

This is what I got wrong in cua.sl. Thanks for clarification. 
Now it works like expected.

Could you please apply the following patch to cua.sl:
