Eh? It's not just the colon.
In normal menus, Emacs hides ":entry", but in indices that would end
up hiding ": entry." which is not what we want, so the
hiding code refrains from hiding menu entries if the node name
is the name of an index.

Huh? That's a bug, it should visit "entry description".

I've used such entries, so I know they've worked at some point. Please
report a precise test case for this bug.
