Has the Appindicator or GtkMenu API changed in Saucy?

I've written a custom application indicator, which isn't working properly on saucy.

The menu is initialised with a few items, then updates regularly, adding or removing menu items.

This worked fine <13.10, but on 13.10, the line that adds the menu to the indicator produces the following warning:

Warning: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.38.0/./gobject/gsignal.c:2475: signal 'child-added' is invalid for instance '0x24390e0' of type 'GtkMenu'
self.ind.set_menu(self.menu)

And the items added to the menu subsequently dont appear.

A bug has been filed against several indicators for the same problem, but it's not clear to me whether this is a problem with the indicators as a result of an API change, or a bug in the GTK or Appindicator libraries. Does anyone know?
