Hi! There is a bug[1] with a patch[2] that makes empty menus created with UIManager insensitive instead of showing an "Empty" item in them (if they are visible at all, note that by default they aren't).
IMO this approach is preferrable to having a useless popup to taunt the user who thought that clicking on the item would actually lead to something. The only drawback I've been able to come up with while pondering this is that by being very clever, the user might fool him/herself to think that the feature was disabled (instead of just no options for it being available), but that's a bit too far fetched to be a real concern. So, if there is nobody with opposing arguments, could this go in sometime soon?
