hey, I chatted with Matthias a little about this in meat space.

Are you talking about in classic mode?

We don't think it uses the menu file in the non-classic mode. Instead it uses a
relocatable dconf schemas .  See:

https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/AppFolders

My guess is gnome-shell's hardcoded mapping of compat names to new names needs an update.
But could also be gnome-shell doesn't use that mapping table when generating the launcher
groups, not sure.
