Removing the pair of double quotes fixed the problem. I think they were left over from an earlier version where the file name had a space in it. It still doesn't explain why it's worked for months with the double quotes.

In previous versions, the commands from the Applications menu were executed in a shell, in 2.3.2-rc4 they are run by execvp(). This makes a difference in quoting rules, and it seems to make a difference for the handling of stdout, too.
