Alacarte seems to have kludged this issue well enough. I managed to finagle it so that the lxmenu shows both sets of directories. Then I managed to delete those directories which were empty. All's well that ends well. But I shall not mark this solved as I don't understand WHY this problem occured nor where in the lxmenu nuts and bolts. So for future searchers, I can only say at this point: don't delete items, rather hide them. And if this trouble pops up, try fiddling with the directories and launcher entries in alacarte.
