If your menu extra is part of a larger app, consider factoring out the
portion of the application that displays the menu extra into a helper
utility, if sensible.  Then you should be able to bring the other
application to the front.

Other than that I really wouldn't worry about it.  I manage a lab of
Macs, which I've set to automatically shut down at midnight every day.
 If an application is open and tosses up modal UI in response to a
quit event (usually a "Save document?" sheet), then the shutdown
aborts and throws up a dialog explaining which app aborted the
shutdown.  Sometimes this window winds up buried in the stack.  If
Apple doesn't worry too much about it, I wouldn't either.
