Windres doesn't seem to understand the use of the \a escape
sequence. This is used in RC to right-allign the rest of the menu item.

For example MENUITEM "E&xit\aAtl-F4", IDM_QUIT should display
in the menu as Exit with the x underlined and the text Alt-F4 to the
right of the menu.
However, using windres I get a little square
between Exit and Alt-F4 and that's it.
Am I doing anything wrong, is
there another solution or is it really a bug/missing feature?

    This bug and several others in windres have been fixed in
    binutils sources, thanks to patches by the ReactOs team. I
    am hoping to make updated binaries avail next week.

    become available.
