I get different results than you. 

Under Ubuntu 9.04 w with wx 2.8.9.1, when I right click I see a menu item called test with little icon of a calculator or something.

Under OS X 10.6 with wx 2.8.12.0 and Win XP with wx 2.8.10.1, when I right click I get this --

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "x.py", line 46, in onPopupMenu
    item = wx.MenuItem(None,-1,u"Test")
  File "/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.12.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 11481, in __init__
    _core_.MenuItem_swiginit(self,_core_.new_MenuItem(*args, **kwargs))
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "parentMenu != NULL" failed at /BUILD/wxPython-src-2.8.12.0/src/common/menucmn.cpp(389) in wxMenuItemBase(): menuitem should have a menu

Hope this helps more than it confuses.

Cheers
