Mine's close to that - just has an extra "introspectable="0"" line:

      <constructor name="new"
                   c:identifier="gtk_radio_menu_item_new"
                   introspectable="0">
        <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">Creates a new #GtkRadioMenuItem.</doc>
        <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">
            <doc xml:whitespace="preserve">the group to which the
radio menu item is to be attached</doc>
            <type name="GLib.SList" c:type="GSList*">
              <type name="gpointer" c:type="gpointer"/>
            </type>
          </parameter>
        </parameters>
      </constructor>

Is that extra line the problem?  If it worked, I would have been done
with the whole RadioMenuItem by now.  Weird!

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gtk-3.0.gir
gtk3-devel-3.4.3-2.fc17.x86_64
