You are correct, there is a typo in /etc/menu-methods/menu-xdg,
the line
prerun =3D "rm -rf " prefix() "/*";
should be removed. It is probably here due to an unlucky copy-pasting.

I reassign the bug to menu-xdg.

Thanks for your bug report,

menu-xdg maintainers: I offer to NMU this package if you lack time.
