Interesting that it does not work for you.  I'm on a Mac, running Java
1.5.0_16.
I'm running Kepler from the command line using "ant run". 

To replicate this, I did:

mkdir kepler
cd kepler
svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/build-area
cd build-area
ant change-to -Dsuite=vanilla-trunk
ant run

I can make the Save As menu appear and disappear by changing 
kepler/common/configs/ptolemy/configs/kepler/uiMenuMappings_en_US.properties

I did a similar test under Windows 2000 Server with Java 1.5.0_17 using
the steps above and was able to make the Save As menu appear and disappear.

Can you give the steps above a try in a separate directory, perhaps on another
machine?  This would be interesting to track down, as it is likely to affect
other people as well. 

Can someone else try the steps above and see if they get the Save As menu?

It is a mystery as to what changed and caused the initial missing menu choice.
I suspect a bug was fixed after Kepler-1.0, perhaps in the KeplerMenuHandler
class?  KeplerMenuHandler was introduced by Chad.  The version control log
messages indicate that it is part of the much needed effort to get rid of the
code that duplicates Ptolemy code.
