This is an example of the type of behavior I'm seeing, so as to make it a little clearer. I don't think the "me module" I mentioned in my initial post is at all relevent as I'm seeing this with all sorts of URLs I would term as "system" URLs.
1. I set up a menu item Search with /search as the destination. It shows.
2. I set up another menu item "Recent Posts" with /tracker as the path (don't worry: I didn't actually use the slash in the path!). It doesn't show at all under the Search item.
3. I change the destination URL of the "Search" menu item to something more generic like "node/34" and it shows up AND the Recent Posts item suddenly appears too.
4. When I actually click on "Recent Posts" and go to /tracker (which, again, I consider to be a default system URL), up above in my menu, the sub menu item "Recent Posts" disappears!
I am 100% convinced this is NOT a theme issue. I dipped my toes into this whole menu/sub-menu issue a month ago whilst using Garland on my test site and I began to see unusual behavior then. I told myself it was a Garland issue and it would be fine with our new theme. It isn't. It's totally broken and it seems to be the menu module. Out of interest, I set up "Forum" as a menu item (going to /forum) and it appeared AND allowed me to put regional forums (forum/2, forum/5) underneath it and they all appear perfectly. I would have expected problems with these URLs but haven't had them.

Unfortunately, that had no effect at all.
One thing I noticed is that when I make the menu item expanded, the sub menu items suddenly appear and, of course, stay there whichever page I'm on....so the code is present to some extent.
When I uncheck the "Expanded" option, the behavior returns to that I've seen before of not showing any sub items.

Quoting "Neil: esl-lounge.com" neil@esl-lounge.com:
I have a new theme and am now trying to create the menus. I have run into a lot of trouble with destination URLs such as
user/me ( I am using me module) profile/me user/1
These are either not being put in or are put in but without the possibility of adding sub-menus to them. Has anyone else struggled with this issue? I just created a menu item going to user/1 and it showed up in FF but not in IE.
I realised it was because, only for admins, I still have the "Navigation" menu showing up and it has the "locked" item MyAccount. In FF, this disappeared when the new menu item going to user/1 was created, whereas in IE, it stayed in the Navigation menu and didn't show in the new menu. My head's about to explode. :-(
Be sure the caching is flushed, including the caching tables in MySql.
