Weird, works for me:

  # perl -MGtk3 -E'Gtk3::init; warn Glib::Object::Introspection->invoke 
("Gtk", "RadioMenuItem", "new", "Gtk3::RadioMenuItem", []);'
  Gtk3::RadioMenuItem=HASH(0x99e42b0) at -e line 1.

In your <prefix>/share/gir-1.0/Gtk-3.0.gir file, what's the entry for 
gtk_radio_menu_item_new?  Mine is located under the class RadioMenuItem 
and basically looks like this:

      <constructor name="new" c:identifier="gtk_radio_menu_item_new">
        <return-value transfer-ownership="none">
          <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">a new #GtkRadioMenuItem</doc>
          <type name="Widget" c:type="GtkWidget*"/>
        </return-value>
        <parameters>
          <parameter name="group" transfer-ownership="none">
            <type name="GLib.SList" c:type="GSList*">
              <type name="RadioMenuItem"/>
            </type>
          </parameter>
        </parameters>
      </constructor>

(You might have to install gtk+'s development package to get this file.)
