The new gnome-menus package correctly removes all the KDE crap that were inserted there with gnome 2.10, but it also removes a legitimate submenu that ONLY appears if you have the gnome-admin-tools installed. This is supposed to appear under the "Desktop" menu, with the name "Administration". Before the new gnome-menus package this menu was correctly showing, but with the new package it has dissapeared.

You mean gnome-system-tools?
I have those tools on my system (they don't work since they don't fully support arch, that's why it's not in the repository too), but I really do have an "Administration" menu entry below "Desktop".

If you look in the .desktop files that should get placed there, what category does it show there?

Gnome-system-tools comes with this:

Categories=Application;System;Settings

which triggers the Administration menu entry in the desktop menu. I have this menu on my system and the settings.menu definition lists an Administration menu entry for these categories. Either the .desktop file is buggy, or the .menu file is buggy on your system.
