Does it work if you don't have a sub-menu?
In my code I explicitly set the XUL namespace:

const XUL_NAMESPACE =
"http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";
....
    var mNode = document.createElementNS(XUL_NAMESPACE, "menuitem");
    mNode.setAttribute("xRdfgroup", "true");
....
      for (....) {
....
        tNode = mNode.cloneNode(true);
        tNode.setAttribute("observes", panelAbout);
        sidebarMenu.appendChild(tNode);
      }

Unrelated: For some reason my function buildSidebarMenu() from which the
above snippet is taken will crash Mozilla 1.7.12 while working perfectly
fine in Seamonkey 1.0.x so YMMV.
