Marking this as confirmed. The gnome-menus package includes a patch that renames /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu to gnome-applications.menu. Including a minimal patch that allows alacarte to run. However it is possible for tree.get_menu_file() to return None if both ~/.config/menus /gnome-applications.menu and /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu are missing, and alacarte should probably check for this and handle it gracefully.
This will not fix the problem of the Applications menu being empty. Copying ~/.config/menus/gnome-applications.menu back to applications.menu will populate the menu, so it seems gnome-panel doesn't handle this change yet either.
