Very strange.

Right. That checkbox specifically controls whether GrowlHelperApp is  
in the Login Items list. The checkbox for the menu bar icon does no  
such thing; it simply sets a preference and then launches GrowlMenu.  
GrowlMenu, for its part, checks that preference, and if it's on, adds  
itself to Login Items (or is supposed to, anyway).

So, two questions:

What version number does Growl show in the About tab of its preference  
pane in System Preferences?

What version of Mac OS X are you using?

Maybe so. I hope my clarification above helps with that.
