You're right, and this does seem like a pretty serious oversight.  I see
that gedit did not have (at least on my version of gnome) an application
menu at all.  gnome-calculator does, though, and it's definitely not
keyboard accessible, which is a very strange design choice, if it's not
a bug.

I've looked at a few Gnome 3 apps just now and F10 was able to open the
gear menu for all of those, including Gedit.  I'm not using Gnome 3 as a
desktop environment.
