I wonder if they are related to some problems I have seen with the
menus on w32 - with my patched version of Emacs. I sometimes get
errors that entries in a menu are undefined, but when I try again it
works.

Since no one have reported this problem before I have not cared very
much about it. I believe it has something to do with that in the
patched version it is much easier to access the menus from the
keyboard (at least if you are using the w32 windows keys as meta and
leave the Alt key to the w32 gui handler so it can open the menus).

There seem to be some initialization that is done in the wrong order.
Maybe my case is a different one than the problems you are seeing now,
of course, since I use a slightly patched version.
