Set a breakpoint at the start of the function globals_of_w32menu() in w32menu.c
(currently line 2541).

Step through the function, taking note of the value that is assigned to
unicode_append_menu. If it is NULL at the end of the function, then that is
what I would have expected and the bug is elsewhere. If it is not NULL, then we
need to find some other method of finding out if unicode menus are supported.
