It turns out that the answer is that WindowEyes handles the device's keyboard 
differently than brltty does. The keyboard can be handled in two ways. One way 
- the way brltty does it - is where the actual key events are sent to the 
driver for interpretation. The other way - the way WindowEyes does it - is 
where the key events, and, therefore, the translation from dots to characters, 
are handled within the device itself. In other words, WindowEyes is receiving 
characters, not braille dots, from the device. Since, in that mode, the device 
itself is interpreting the key events, Chord+m does go to the internal menu.
