Comment (by dd32):

 > What would be a use-case for that? Backwards compat? Seems like an odd
 piece of code.

 Back-compat for a looong time ago, when plugins registered menu's
 directing to specific files rather than a slug+function is my guess.

 Any plugin that passes a `__FILE__` to add_sub_menu() (or the other
 variants of it) and don't specify a callback function will trigger it.
