yes, no (the problem is update-menus, and you are not wrong).

I can reproduce the quirck about /Games, but I cannot reproduce the
Xshells one: that one works OK for me.

Ah, now I can reproduce it. I just created one big rule, instead of
those three little ones. But I added two "endtranslate/substitute" lines,
and yes, I can see it happening here too now.

Getting stranger and stranger, indeed!

I'm pretty confident it's update-menus, not you. Funny thing is that it's
still got identical bugs in 1.5-5 (the version I'm running), and in 1.3-2.
I will have to look at those bugs some day. I'm not sure when I'll find
the time to do that, but I should be able to do it before the release of
hamm.
Thanks,
