I filed it on bugzilla, hope it'll be fixed one day. But if I understand
you correctly, there's little chance that it'll be "fixed" for Gtk+-2.0?
For the archives then, here's code I use as a workaround (got this idea
while looking in the sourcecode of GtkImageMenuItem):

static GtkWidget *
gtk_menu_item_with_image (const gchar *labeltxt,
                          const gchar **pixmap)
{
  GtkWidget *hbox, *menuitem, *label, *image;

  menuitem = gtk_menu_item_new();

  hbox = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 5);

  image =
gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf(gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data(pixmap));
  gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), image, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
  gtk_widget_show(image);

  label = gtk_label_new(labeltxt);
  gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 0.0, GTK_MISC(label)->yalign);
  gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(hbox), label, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
  gtk_widget_show(label);

  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(menuitem), hbox);
  gtk_widget_show(hbox);

  return menuitem;
}

and then for the menus:

[..]
  menu = gtk_menu_new();
  pixmap = (const gchar**) audio_src_volume_xpm;
  for (i=0;i<g_list_length(list);i++)
  {
    menuitem = gtk_menu_item_with_image("some_text", pixmap);
    gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu), menuitem);
    if (i == active)
      gtk_menu_set_active(GTK_MENU(menu), i);
  }
  gtk_option_menu_set_menu (prefs->audio_recsrc, menu);
  gtk_widget_show_all(menu);
[..]
