Except that it is, in Kawa, in a context expecting a single value.
Racket throws an error:

context expected 1 value, received 0 values

but Kawa accepts #!void or (values) as a single value:

#|kawa:1|# (length (list #!void))
1
#|kawa:2|# (length (list (values)))
1

I suppose it's a matter of opinion to say that only JMenuItem is the
"correct type". ;-) Anyway, right now it silently fails with a class
cast exception on the EDT, which hardly seems better.
