ReproducibleScript:
Working on Wish for Win95:

% menu .m
.m
% menu .m.system
.m.system
% .m add cascade -menu .m.system
% .m.system add command -label Hello
% . configure -menu .m
(Observe new "Hello" entry in system menu.)
% . cget -menu
.m
(Confirm Tk knows about menu.)
% wm overrideredirect . 0
(I would expect this to be a no-op, but
observe that "Hello" entry has disappeared from system menu. BUG!)
% . cget -menu
.m
(Tk thinks menu is there... but it isn't displaying it any more.)
% . configure -menu .m
(Observe that this doesn't fix it.)
% . configure -menu {}
% . configure -menu .m
(This pair of operations successfully restores the additions to the system menu.)

Verified that something really screwy is going on in 8.3b1.
The 'wm override' does cause a loss of the system menu additions.
It also causes . to increase in size with each call. Clicking
on the system menu after it disappears caused . to disappear on
me, but you can reconfigure it otherwise.

Partial fix in 8.3b2 - 'wm override' will not do anything unless
you are really changing values, becoming a true noop in the above
case.

Also dupped by 587698, it is still a valid problem where the
wrapper window isn't updating the system menu when it is
recreated in tkWinWm.c:UpdateWrapper.
