 I have a plugin which has worked fine in all previous recent versions of
 WP. The plugin creates a top-level menu with several sub-menus. In WP2.7,
 sub-menus have the wrong URL on certain menus.

 That is, if I am on (e.g.) the "write" page, the URL for my submenu
 is[[BR]]
 http://preview.4-14.org.uk/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sermon-
 browser/sermon.php [[BR]]
 This works.

 But if I am on the dashboard, the URL for my submenu is[[BR]]
 http://preview.4-14.org.uk/wp-admin/sermon-browser/sermon.php?page=sermon-
 browser/sermon.php [[BR]]
 This gives a 404. The comments page does the same. Neither dashboard or
 comments have a submenu of their own - perhaps that makes the difference.

 The code my plugin uses to create the submenus can
 [http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sermon-browser/trunk/sermon.php
 be seen here]: (lines 61f).

 I understand how to fix this in my plugin, but wanted to create the ticket
 to (1) Prompt documentation for other developers or (2) Fix the core to
 prevent this happening.
