I think this is dodginess in Gtk itself.  A new_with_label makes an
GtkAccelLabel with its "accel-widget" set to the item, which is a circular
reference between the item and label.  Sample accel.pl attached.

I suppose the circularity is normally undone by a destroy() on the top GtkMenu
calling destroy on all its children and sub-children.

Needing to call $item->destroy from perl is unpleasant, but I suppose it's not
a bug strictly speaking.  We've got notes in Gtk2::Window on the need for
explicit destroy() there.  Perhaps a similar bit in Gtk2::MenuItem, and a cross
reference in Gtk2::AccelLabel.  I might have a go at a few words if no-one
beats me to it.
