Just an FYI (this might have been caused by my original attempts to fix this bug). After updating, the menu item worked fine but I still couldn't open the menu item properties in alacarte. I had to completely purge GMP, delete the menu item and ~/.local/share/applications/gnome-media-player.desktop and then reinstall GMP.
