I think it's a matter of semantics: It's a Rev issue only because OS X doesn't need to support other operating systems.

Personally, I see no harm in putting menu items where customers expect them, and much benefit in Rev doing that automatically for us.

While technically a bug, in practice it should never be an issue: the Mac HIG has long recommended against disabling the entire Edit menu, and the OS X HIG suggests never disabling menus at all, only items within the menu:

   Even if all of the items in a menu or submenu are unavailable,
   the menu or submenu title is not dimmed. The user can still
   open the menu, but all of its items are dimmed to indicate
   that these items are not available in the present context.
