So you assume there will only be one entry.  What happens if there are
2 entries?  If you know for sure that there'll only ever be 1 entry in that
map, is that the only thing you know about that map, or do you also know
more about it?

The question still stands: why massage the format, whichever it is: if it
works in [menu-bar] it should work where you'll use it, without touching it
at all.

I don't think so, although the (menu-item ...) format is sufficiently rich
that the way you handle it is incomplete.  See the elisp manual for
a complete description.
