The patch is not in trunk, 100830 fixed 6645.  It is not in trunk 100831 either.

Subject: 23.1; GTK menu contents don't change
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 16:31:57 +0100

After opening a file, the contents of the Buffer menu do not change - the menu still begins with *scratch* and *messages*. However, if you actually click with the mouse on the *messages* menu item, you do NOT get sent to the *messages* buffer - you get sent to some other buffer. Likewise, in a new major mode, each menu displays either the old contents of the menu that was in that position in the menubar in the previous major mode, or nothing (an empty menu). Likewise, if you select some text with the mouse, the "Cut" and "Copy" items in the Edit menu do not become enabled, as they should.

All of this evidence suggests that, after the original menubar is created, new menus can be added or removed, but any alterations to menus do not take effect on the display. However, as shown by the example of clicking on the *messages* menu item in the Buffers menu, emacs appears to be reacting AS IF the altered version of the menu was being displayed, even though it isn't.
