If you want relief from this bug, try patching /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/applications.py with my attached patch. To use:
1) save this file to /tmp
2) su or sudo /bin/bash
3) cd /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu
4) patch -p1 < /tmp/applications.py.patch
if asked which file to patch, type in "applications.py"
I hope this is fixed upstream soon. My fix works around an issue (and my mint menu seems to be working OK now)
