Hi Sean! I confirmed this on Xubuntu 14.04 x64, fresh install, all updates and latest Menulibre 2.0.6 from the stable ppa repository.

Playing arround with the configuration files I found a workarroud for this bug:

Note: Update all packages and install latest Menulibre from ppa stable repository f

1. Delete all files in "~/<user>/.config/menus" (or rename the directory to ~/<user>/.config/menus.bkp and create a new empty "~/<user>/.config/menus" in order to backup it).

2. Delete all files in "~/<user>/.local/share/applications/" (againg, it's possible to rename "~/<user>/.local/share/applications" to "~/<user>/.local/share/applications.bkp" and create an empty "~/<user>/.local/share/applications/" in order to backup it)

3. Copy all files from "/usr/share/applications/" to "~/<user>/.local/share/applications/"

3. Backup "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu" (i. e. rename it to "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu.bkp"). You need to be root to do that. At this point, your Application menu will show all the optiosn that were not hidden but were not shown before.

4. Copy (and replace) "/etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu" to "/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/" You need to be root to do that.

5. Restart the system

Now is working as expected.
