Just try:
        dia --version --verbose
should give you something similar to

Dia version 0.96-pre3, compiled 21:51:50 Feb  8 2007

Yes, this seems to be an issue with gtk+-2-6 (as visible above I just did
a rebuild against gtk+ 2.6.11, IIRC the latest in the 2.6 series.

Very likely, I think earlier GIMP versions had a similar issue, i.e. merged
menus not showing up.

I'd rather like to avoid this. A hard dependency on gtk+-2.8 or even
2.10 (the current 'supported' version) would kill the goal to have Dia
potentially working on win9x and maemo.

So I'll invest some time how to work around the issue based on gtk+ 2.6.
