Thanks for filing the bug and patch.

It's odd, though, because I have this specific test case (a pair of radiomenuitems) in testintegration.c and the synchronization works there, both in the MenuBar and in the Dock Menu.

I wonder though if it wouldn't be better for the radiomenuitem to chain its parent activate method (which would then properly call g_object_notify) rather than messing directly with the property (which belongs to the parent checkmenuitem, not the radiomenuitem). Oh, well. There seems to be a lot of that.
