Happens both with the newest release tarball and the newest bzr version.

configure: error: conditional "HAVE_VALGRIND" was never defined.
Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.

(passing --enable-tests works around it)

Also, I should point out this belongs on the 'upstream' bug tracker which libdbusmenu doesn't seem to have enabled on launchpad.

[Michał Górny (mgorny)]

Here's a trivial patch that makes sure the macro is called unconditionally.
