If you're asking what it should do technically, the answer is whatever
it wants. If the author assigns two different actions to those menu
items, that is wrong and I don't care which one gets activated. If
they have the same action I don't care either because its the same
action.

Is a XUL/Gecko app which assigns identical command keys to multiple menu

Firefox, Thunderbird, Songbird...). I have no control over what they put in
their menu bars.

You answered your question. Rethink your menu-structure completely or
just asign one key-equ. and leave the other menu items without. Why?
Because:
