I ran into the same problem and the only way around it was to use an
array with data matching the menus and looping through
gtk_item_factory_create_item() manually. I don't know if there is a
reason not to do this, it seems that it would have been very easy to
implement in the first place and left out on purpose looking at the
source.

for (i = 0; i < nmenu_items; i++) {
    menu_entry = menu_items + i;
    
    gtk_item_factory_create_item (item_factory, menu_entry,
				  *(callback_data + i), 2 );
}
