I was briefly able to replicate this in lucid with the .desktop files shipped in the 'teg' and 'nethack' packages. The behaviour did not change after invoking update-gnome-menus-cache. I moved teg.desktop, and added a new teg.desktop including "Version=1.0", and re-updated the cache, with no change. I removed the edited teg.desktop and replaced it with the original. Both the teg and nethack entries appeared *without* running update-gnome-menus-cache.
