Just tried this as I'm also interested by a solution to this. It's not
working.

1) If you remove the NSPopUpButton, when you display the Menu in the
over view, the Application crashes as if someone was doing a dealloc on
the NSMenu instead of a release
2) If you keep the NSPopUpButton, when you display the menu in the
NSButton, the labels are big. Then if you click on the NSPopUpButton,
the labels are small the next time you display the menu of the NSButton.

This leads to make me think the "smallification" of the menu labels is
done in the method to draw the PopUp Menu of PopUpButton not before.
