I confirmed the 4 lines mentioned above are related to the problem of
hiding items in the games menu. I was able to workaround the issue by
removing the 4 lines in question from the mentioned file:

    sudo cp  /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu  /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu.bak
    sudo sensible-editor  /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

That caused lots of sub-menus to Games to appear, but at least hiding
games started working.

Title:
  alacarte does not remove main menu item

Status in gnome-menus:
  New
Status in “gnome-menus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: alacarte

  Binary package hint: alacarte

  Using Preferences>Main Menu, I removed FreeCell from the Games menu.
  After closing, FreeCell is still visible in the Applications>Games
  menu. Removing other items and restoring them seems to work properly
  such as Terminal Client and Remote Desktop Viewer.

  Upon further testing, I noticed that the problem expands to the items
  in the submenu of Games (excepting other submenus such as Logic), but
  you can still remove the submenu by unchecking it from Applications.
