I cannot my self reproduce the bug in 8.04. When I edit menu items through Alacarte they get renamed just fine. Does this happens to only SOME of your menu items or is it all of your menu items in different categories??

Happens only on some items. (note: I'm on a pt-BR system)

I tried a few, and at least these don't allow renaming:
Dictionary (string is "Dicionários")
Gedit ("Editor de Texto")
Gnome-Terminal ("Consola")
Vinagre ("Visualizador de Área de Trabalho Remota")
Totem ("Reprodutor de Filmes")

Running from the commandline no errors are shown.
I found another bug report that describes the same symptoms. Seems it is related to the language-pack stuff:
