I put the following in a file, "emacs -Q /tmp/file.el", `M-x
eval-buffer'.

(define-key global-map [menu-bar words]
  (cons "Words" (make-sparse-keymap "Words")))
(define-key global-map
  [menu-bar words forward]
  '("Forward word" . forward-word))
(define-key global-map
  [menu-bar words backward]
  '("Backward word" . backward-word))

And the menu works fine for me.  This is with:

In GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 124, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.23, 
cairo version 1.16.0)

So I'm unable to reproduce this bug.
