For everything else I believe the current behavior is the only consistent way. Anything else would again open non-consistency discussions.
Sure, if you're used to the old way, the new way may need some getting used to (same here ;-). But I'm sure that's only temporary ;-)
this new behaviour makes the number of key presses to get into the menu unpredictable. It can always happen that some message is displayed just before you press Menu. If that happens you have to press it a second time.
So now you have to check on screen whether the key press really did what you wanted it to do.
The new behaviour is good for the muggle plugin - the Menu key is the preferred way to leave it.
I think this would also be quite consistent:
If the OSD covers less than half of the screen (so if either the upper or the lower part of the screen is without OSD), the Menu key shows the main menu.
Otherwise it clears the OSD.
