I have to agree with Nancy. Re-weighting a menu item does not qualify as customized, IMO. Otherwise, I agree it works as designed.

The thing is, the system can only tell that there's an entry in the table, not what part of the item has been modified. I ran into this in some completely unrelated piece of code, where I ended up storing weights separately so that moving an item up or down didn't constitute modifying it, and it is a lot of extra code just to do that.
