I should have mentioned that LaTeX-mode-map in that example is a
keymap in the relevant mode: menus in XEmacs are bound to "locales"
(which is why you need the easy-menu-add to activate them in some
buffer), whereas menus in Emacs are bound to keymaps.

So the easy-menu-* functions require a keymap as one argument, even
though the implementation for XEmacs will most likely ignore it.
