Now I see, it is a problem in the Tix manual. Some commands around
there document which options are static and which are not. For
OptionMenu, 'labelside' is an static option but is not described as
such.

Fixed on r74519.

It looks like Tix.py might need a review on this area of static
options. Tix's documentation doesn't help much, so it will require
some manual testing.
