Yep, this is a bug. If you look at menu.py you'll see that it is doing a
string search on the menu. I don't want to try and work around this now,
there is too much risk of breaking something else. Rewriting menu.py to use
direct sub-classes is high on my priority list, so I'll fix it in June. Just
save the id for now.
