I can reproduce the problem, thanks. To figure out why this happens I
modified the menu postinst:

As you can see, pokerth had the status "triggers-awaited" when
"update-menus --trigger" ran, and update-menus seems to consider that
state as "not installed", incorrectly skipping its menu entry.
Reassigning this bug to menu,
