I've tried to look for gnome-menu items with commas or explanation words
within brackets but have not noticed any.

Usually where text needs to be an explanation , menu item tends to be
longer. [ex: evolution, "Download Messages for Offline Usage" . really
shouldnt be citing evo as an example, but it had the longest I could
find ;)]

How about :
"Restart To Apply Updates..." or 
"Restart and Apply Updates..."
