This seems to be a Windows-only problem: Works for me in gvim 7.3.226
with GTK2 GUI on Linux64.

Experiment 1.
1. Start gvim with my usual vimrc (which sets :lang mess C)
--- gvim comes up in English.
2. :lang de_DE.UTF-8
3. :runtime delmenu.vim
--- Menubar disappears
4. :runtime menu.vim
--- Menubar reappears in German
5. Open a menu then click its tear-off bar
--- Teared-off menu opens.

Experiment 2.
1. Start gvim with the following command-line (all on one line):
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF-8 gvim -u
/usr/local/share/vim/vim73/vimrc_example.vim
--- gvim opens with German splash screen and menus
2. Open a menu and click its tear-off bar.
--- Teared-off menu opens.

I've tried a few additional variants of the same, in all cases the
tear-off widget works OK for me.

Best regards,
Tony.
