Wacky Submenu Problem under OS X

Okay, this is getting even stranger...

put button "File":


(&Print/P
Print &Labels
	516&0
	516&1
	516&2
	516&3
	516&4
	526&7
	-
	Quick &Reference
(Print &Name Tags
-
&Quit/Q


New File Menu:

Print
Print Labels
  5160
  5161
  5162
  5163
  5164
  5267   ->
Print Name Tags

The "5267" menu is as before (the separator line and Quick Reference) 
and yes, it's still on 5267 (not Print Name Tags as I would have 
expected).

Enabling the "Print Name Tags" option makes no difference.
