In your actionSets extension point, specify the correct 'menubarPath'

<actionSet
id="com.<MY>.objects"
label="MyObjects"
>
<action
class="com.<MY>.Action"
menubarPath="File/additions"
/>
</actionSet>
</extension>
I'm not sure on the exact path, I can only guess that it's 'File'.

I agree that this works, but it looks like an unfortunate constraint.
In fact, I can create my complete menu structure without any code
within the ActionBarAdvisor, except until I need to provide at least
a single action via code. E.g. ActionFactory.RESET_PERSPECTIVE has
no command pendant and I cannot use a wrapping command for this
functionality. Therefore I must provide it via the ActionBarAdvisor,
in which I *also* need to define a new menu manager given some ID,
e.g. IWorkbenchActionConstants.M_WINDOW. Unfortunately it seems as
if I cannot refer to a manager for some identifiable menu contribution
already defined via plugin.xml - or did I miss something?
