Hmm.  Strange.  I will try to track this down, then.

Ah.  So the solution is just to not set the keymap parent, and then
there will be no duplicate menu keybindings.  I don't know why I did
that in the first place; I think it was because I was originally using
the `local-map' property, but that brought its own problems.

Anyways, it works now.  Thanks!
