Indeed, one shouldn't notice -- except that there was a bug in  
NSPropertyList.m, which did use an incorrect translation for ASCII  
control characters (it was using the old Java \Uxxxx notation instead  
of numerical character encodings). Due to this bug the position of  
menus was no longer persistent. I've just committed a fix for this in  
svn and now torn-off menus will reappear again the next time you  
start an app.
