Turn on all action sets.
Run the attached code snippet.  

Notice that findMenuUsingPath does not work for menus created by action sets.

The Workbench MenuManager includes ActionSetContributionItems, which are 
subcontribution items which wrap MenuManagers.  The findMenuUsingPath code does 
not take this into account.  I believe the find code should be something like 
the following.

  String id = path;
  String rest = null;
  int separator = path.indexOf('/');
  if (separator != -1) {
    id = path.substring(0, separator);
    rest = path.substring(separator + 1);
  } 
  IContributionItem item = super.find(id);
  IMenuManager menu = null;
  MenuManager manager = null;
  if (item instanceof MenuManager) {
    manager = (MenuManager) item;
    if (rest != null) {
      menu = manager.findMenuUsingPath(rest);
    } else {
      menu = manager;
    }
  } else if (item instanceof SubContributionItem) {
    SubContributionItem subContributionItem = (SubContributionItem)item;
    IContributionItem innerItem = subContributionItem.getInnerItem();
    if (innerItem instanceof MenuManager) {
      manager = (MenuManager)innerItem;
      if (rest != null) {
        menu = manager.findMenuUsingPath(rest);
      } else {
        menu = manager;
      }
    } 
  } else {
    return null;
  }
  return menu;

Simon, could you comment on this?  I can fix it up if necessary, but I wanted 
to double check that my assumptions are correct.

Lynne, is there a known problem in Eclipse that is related to this? Or is it 
just something you found while looking at the code?

If the latter, then I rather wait a while. We are looking into reworking the 
action contribution story. Current implementation is way to complicated, not to 
mention "fragile"!

No it's not causing a problem.  I worked around it for changes I am doing to 
Customize Perspective, so there is no rush to fix this now.

This item has been fixed/superceded by the menu contribution mechanism - bug 154130
