I'd say it's a "known limitation" rather than either a bug or missing feature.
I doubt we'll fix it in the context of GtkOpttionMenu, but if you
want to file a bug report on the issue on bugzilla.gnome.org that will
remind us to look at the issue of Icon/Text combination items for the
new combo/option menu widget that is scheduled to be done for GTK+-2.2.

These icons weren't there when we finalized the set of stock icons
for GTK+-2.0; they'll most likely be added for 2.2. You can package them
with your application and register them as stock icons yourself,
(with stock id's like myprogr-media-rec) and then when GTK+-2.2 switch
to using the official version.
