the doubling here is curious.  this hints to me that the paths you've 
inserted and the paths you expect to get back don't match up.

do the hardcoded string and the subbed one match exactly by byte 
values, or do they just look the same to the eye?

in the helper function used for create_item(), we strip all of the 
accelerator underscores to get a "clean path" which we can pass to 
get_item() in order to fetch the widget so we can connect callbacks to 
it.  perhaps there are embedded underscores?

this is easy enough to do, but i am strapped for time this week and 
can't create a simple testcase to reproduce the problem.  any 
volunteers?
