The start menu is no longer copied to the user's record like it used to be when
a user is upgraded so that part is normal.  Instead, it now pulls the menu name
from their security level and has some different logic.  There is a note about
this in the whatsnew for more details.

I'll try to reproduce it here tonight if I get the time.

If you want to diagnose more on your side, here are some things to try:

1) Check logs to see what it says when it can't load the menu.
2) Check system config > start menu and confirm the value is what you want
3) Check the user's start menu and make sure its actually blank and not a null
4) Check the user's security level to make sure there is a start menu defined or
that its truly blank and not set to a space or null character.

The logic is basically:

If user has a non-blank start menu, use that.
If user start menu is blank, then load menu from user's security profile.
If user security profile start menu is blank, then load Config > Start Menu

... Enter any 12-digit prime number to continue.
