Attached branch https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/libappindicator/unregister-later has a fix for the menu being around and unresponsive. When you delete the second of two layouts, the indicator is actually supposed to disappear. But due to a bug in the libappindicator destruction code, the connection to the indicator was torn down, but the indicator itself was kept around. Thus the menu items that didn't do anything.
I'm not sure if this is related to the crash in bug 712635 or not after all. I'm going to keep digging in that bug's comments as necessary.
