Don't know if this will help, but I thought I'd look at this this morning. I saw that my 'Menu Interface' plugin was dated at some point in 2011. I refreshed the plugins list and saw no change. I un-ticked and re-ticked the plugin and it immediately showed up as being dated 03/02/2012. I didn't notice anything downloading (and I probably would at my paltry 1.5Mb broadband speed!).
My plugin settings are the exact same as Howard's.
