It's possibly a variety of the same bug I complained about here:

The problem is that the system lies to you about what the menu font size is,
so you can never use an attributed string to make a menu using the same size
font (because you don't know what it is). The only solution I've been able
to find is this: if you make one menu item an attributed string, you must
make them *all* attributed strings, so you have control. m.
