No.  Same problem: can't get out of submenus.  Have to Ctrl-C to exit.

I tried with an F11 VM I use for other builds and sure enough the
problem goes away.  There is something peculiar about my F14.  Is anyone
else using F14 with BusyBox?  

I'd like to track down the issue but I'm kind of at a loss for how to
debug curses.  There are no error messages left on the console after I
kill menuconfig with Ctrl-C.  I could try strace, I guess.  I also have
other F14 installations I could try on, just to see if its this
particular box.  I found that the easiest way to reproduce it was to go
into Network Utilities.  Once there, I can move up and down the list but
hitting Select, Exit or Help just takes me back to the top of that
submenu.

At least with the F11 vm I have a workaround.  Still like to figure it
out though.
