Are you saying the above line occurs by itself in menu.vim? Then you
did it wrong, and the error you're seeing is because Vim executes
the :s command on startup, and does not create a menu entry. You need
to use this command as the last part of one of the menu creation
commands, given in :help creating-menus.

If you are NOT saying that this line occurs by itself in menu.vim,
then what line DOES appear there? THIS is what John is asking, not
what regex you used. I don't use menus myself, but it certainly looks
from the help files that they work pretty much just like mappings.

I do note the following, however, below :help creating-menus:
Special characters in a menu name:

& The next character is the shortcut key. Make sure each
shortcut key is only used once in a (sub)menu. If you want to
insert a literal "&" in the menu name use "&&".

Since your regex contains a &, this may also be your problem.
