Actually the problem is worse than that.
If I open a NIB file I created with IB2 in IB3, and open a pop-up
menu for editing, all of the items get set to "hidden". If I add a
new item it is not hidden. So next time I use that NIB I only see
the new item. Now I'm wise to the problem I just manually go through
and make sure all existing items are not hidden, but the first few
times this caught me out quite badly.
Just loading the NIB file into IB3 doesn't cause the problem - only
if a menu is actually opened for editing. Not sure if it applies to
contextual menus, etc. but it definitely affects pop-up buttons.
Hope this gets fixed soon - it's not a huge problem but can be a
pain if you have a lot of menus. Also agree w/respect to rendering
hidden items more obviously in the interface.
Could you please file a bug, and attach your NIB so that this can get
fixed?

It looks this this could happen if you start with a pop up, change
it to pull down, and then duplicate the first item a number of
times to populate your menu. The first item in a pull down menu is
marked as hidden, and when IB duplicates the item, it propagates
the hidden attribute.
I think this would all be more obvious if IB rendered hidden menu
items in a way that informed the user they were hidden.
Thanks for pointing this out -

Of course I really meant the "hidden" attribute, not the "enabled"

IB 3 seems to have a bug where the "enabled" state for a menu
item initially gets set to OFF when you load a NIB (maybe from an
earlier version of IB - not explored exactly what triggers this).
You have to go through and turn the checkbox back on again for
all your items in each menu you touch with IB 3. A bit of a
nuisance.
