Does it work if you set all your encoding options first (before
anything else in your .vimrc other than perhaps a set nocompatible)?
Vim stores everything internally in the encoding specified by
'encoding', and doesn't translate anything it already has when the
encoding changes, so if the menus are already set up when you set you
encoding they'll be wrong.
You mention setting encoding in your gvimrc. Maybe try it in
your .vimrc? You can surround it with a has('gui_running') check if
you only want it when using gvim.
