No, that's not true in my tests.  If you hit Escape while a hidden
timeout is active and GRUB_TIMEOUT is non-zero, it'll display the menu.

If you can make this happen, please post a detailed test case.

I don't think it's very useful, which is why it isn't available in the
new GRUB_TIMEOUT + GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE interface; but it was exposed in
the old GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT + GRUB_TIMEOUT interface so I don't want to
break it entirely.
