I can localise the problem to tmm-get-keybind and these two lines:

 (setq allbind (cons (local-key-binding keyseq) allbind))
 (setq allbind (cons (global-key-binding keyseq) allbind))

If I remove a menu-item in the global map e.g file

(define-key global-map [menu-bar file] 'undefined)

the tmm handles this properly as the entry is removed from
(global-key-binding [menu-bar]):

(keymap (file . undefined)...

However, if I remove a menu-item in the local map, e.g, edit in the scratch
buffer:

(define-key lisp-interaction-mode-map [menu-bar edit] 'undefined)

then I get:

(local-key-binding [menu-bar])
(keymap (edit . undefined))

but tmm still thinks it's there because it's still in the global list

(global-key-binding [menu-bar]):

...(edit "Edit" keymap (undo ...
          ^^^^

Perhaps Emacs has it's own function to handle this.

There is no corresponding problem with a graphical display.
