Blender Version

Broken: blender-2.80-f6cb5f54494e-windows64 (official release)
Broken: blender-2.81-115a5bf65a6b-windows64 (build bot)
Broken: blender-2.82-ba1e9ae4733a-windows64 (build bot)
Working: blender-2.79b-f4dc9f9d68b-windows64 (official release)

Short description of error

Since the drop-down menu for How to sync Playback got moved
into the Playback drop-down menu, its ability to be keyed got broken.

2.80 and onwards opens these keyed properties correctly
(from 2.97b and earlier), but does not allow any control over the
keyframe(s) from the context menu or keyboard shortcuts.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error from scratch

Open a broken version
In the timeline editor --> Playback drop-down menu
Over the How to sync Playback try inserting a keyframe (right-clicking or pressing {key I})

I can confirm, in blender 2.79 it used to work:

Apparently properties inside popovers can't be animated.

Yeah, there's a couple more irregularities, in the playback popover: Mute Audio & Audio Scrubbing.
Context menu keying options are available (in 2.8x & 2.7x), but do not work in 2.8x or 2.7x.

Keying this property via Python (bpy.context.scene.keyframe_insert('sync_mode')) works fine, so it seems to be a UI issue. ui_context_button_active(…) returns NULL when called from this stack:

main(int argc, const char ** argv) (…blender/source/creator/creator.c:518)

As a result, the insert_key_button_exec function doesn't know which property is supposed to be keyed, and it cancels the operator.

As this seems to be a UI issue, I'll leave the decision whether this is a bug or a known issue to the UI module team.
