Oh, we are talking about 21.5?  I was testing with 21.4 and above of
that with an older CVS checkout.  I did a fresh checkout of 21.4's
trunk now and the bug did not show up anymore when using a patched
easymenu.el.  Sorry for the confusion.

Yes it is.

AUCTeX changes `mode-name' when stuff like math mode is toggled.
Maybe that confuses easymenu.el.

Not anymore.  Thanks for following up on this.
