My current Emacs does not have this patch applied (or include the
equivalent) and does show menu separators.  So at least the problem I
reported would appear to be fixed (I am judging from the subject line of
the bug report, don't have the report itself here).

However, that does not mean that Stefan might not have unrelatedly
detected some special case not covered by the current code.  So while
the particular problem I have reported might no longer be present in the
code base, you should perhaps ask Stefan what case he had been thinking
about when creating the patch.
