The following button, a menu but not a menu button, has an option to set a hotkey but no check box for "Show hotkey in label"
Ought this be corrected?

I don't think it would be that useful. The checkbox only affects things inside a menu, so we'd be talking about sub-menus with hotkeys, which don't really work properly to begin with (they open in a weird place, as the parent menu isn't open to anchor them).
Also, the main reason for that checkbox is the default toolbars and issues to do with translation and re-translation of default toolbars when switching languages. The default toolbars don't assign hotkeys to any menus or sub-menus. (They assign accelerator keys, but not hotkeys. E.g. Alt-F will open the File menu on an English install.)
When making custom toolbars/menus, you can add the hotkey to the label yourself:
New Folders\tCtrl+N
Or, if you want the fancy hotkey rendering:
New Folders\t<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>N</kbd>
(Trying that, I also see there's a bug with the rendering as the sub-arrow overlaps the hotkey string. You can tell we didn't really consider sub-menus with hotkeys or that anyone would want such a thing. 
But I'll see if that can be fixed.)

Thanks for the explanation, the fancy hotkey rendering, and the effort (no rush!) to fix the rendering where the sub-arrow overlaps the hotkey string.
Text/arrow overlap has been fixed for the next beta.
