Mmmm, as for the multiple entries in the Apple menu, i've never seen or heard of that before, sorry.
The double Apple menu items is a "side effect" of having VoiceOver turned on. One of the "double" items has a "..." after it, and the other doesn't--the extra one without the "..." executes that action without a confirmation dialogue, I believe. So you don't have to wait for the OS to read "Do you want to shut down..." out loud.
The black boxes are visually showing what VoiceOver is reading.
Confirm that turning the feature on and off does the same for me. Thanks for the education! I'll keep a mental note of that.
