You don't need to help debug it further, as has already been mentioned
here, it is/was a known tk bug in 8.5.9 that is fixed already in what will
become 8.6. (From what I can see, for anyone that needs or wants to find
the fix for themselves, the fix is in tk*/library/menu.tcl)
You may want to find out why you're not seeing the problem - perhaps someone
has incorporated the fix for 8.6 (which seems to have been made last March, so
this problem was known and fixed long ago) into your version of 8.5.9,
or perhaps you're not really using 8.5.9 in your exmh as you think.
That the problem (and fix) is in generic tcl code that's part of the tk
system (and not OS dependent C code) means it is very unlikely that it
is in any way solaris/linux/... specific.
