Hmmmmmm..... Based on the experiments you have tried so far and my inspection of the code, the only reason I can see for this behavior is that (sgml-menu-ask event 'element) is returning nil for you. Now *why* it is returning nil is the question. Experiment #1: Let's see if the function is miscompiled. Load up a document, then (require 'psgml-edit). Pull up psgml-edit.el and evaluate sgml-menu-ask. Does it work now?

Experiment #2: If the previous experiment failed (i.e., the problem still exists after evalling sgml-menu-ask), insert the following line just after the first line of code in sgml-menu-ask (that is, the (sgml-parse-to-here) call) and re-eval the function: (message "The valid elements are %s" sgml-current-list-of-valid-eltypes) Does this print out the same list that you saw on the menu?
