Actually, I think Apple is doing us a favor. It looks like menu items
get disabled when the sheet removes their target from the responder
chain. Makes sense. You shouldn't be able to bring up multiple save
panels on the same unsaved document, so at least this one menu item
disabling is not a misguided decision.

Well, right--I wasn't actually complaining when I said "it would be a
misguided decision" if they did it on purpose, becuase I doubt that this is
an intentional thing. Probably more like a side effect of disabling things
that do make sense, like you point out above. Maybe Apple has even thought
of this problem and provided a different means of doing undo in a sheet
that we haven't heard of yet.
Which menu items, disabled when a modal sheet raises, do you consider a
misguided decision to disable? I can only think of more things that I
want disabled when a modal sheet is raised.
I am only talking about Undo (and Redo).
I don't think there should be any controversy at all about this: if text
editing is allowed to happen in a sheet, then undo functionality obviously
needs to be present as well.
The original poster's question was how to work around this auto-disabling
to implement it.
