Sounds like the same root cause as http://debbugs.gnu.org/18016 .

So probably the same kind of change will fix it, but are the r117463
simplification changes still desirable in light of this?
(Also, they don't seem to have a NEWS entry.)

Indeed.  Should be fixed now.

This shortcut cache has been announced as obsolete for a while, so
I think it's OK to remove it.

Indeed, I didn't expect to need to mention it in the NEWS, but
experience shows it deserves to be there.

Is that

    "The menu bar bindings's caches are not used any more."

?

PS announcing the obsolescence obviously didn't prompt us to remove any
(?) of the uses in Emacs itself, so why expect external packages to do
better? ;)

It's extremely unusual to put those in manually.
