Accelerator mapping in GtkOSXApplication is handled the Gtk way, with GtkAccelMaps. This is mentioned in the GtkOSXApplication documentation.

Option/Alt is handled a bit too generically in gdk-quartz, where it's used for i18n regardless of context and consequently ignored when used as an accelerator. Ideally this handling should only occur in the input method, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet and Kristian Reitveld doesn't think it's important enough to do anything about. If anyone knows enough about the simple input method to write a patch to fix this it would be most welcome. Post it to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617583.
