ID 384525 - Python nuke.Menu.icon() returns an empty string instead of path

Problem summary

The icon() method within the Python function nuke.MenuItem() should return the following:

 The name of the icon on this menu item as path of the icon


This method works if the object is of type nuke.MenuItem(). However, it doesn't work if the object is of type nuke.Menu(). 
nuke.Menu() inherits nuke.MenuItem() per the documentation here: 
https://learn.foundry.com/nuke/developers/113/pythonreference/nuke.Menu-class.html

Because nuke.Menu() inherits nuke.MenuItem(), and the icon() method is explicitly mentioned, it appears to be a bug. 
This happens on built-in menu items as well as user-created menu items.


Customer reported version

Steps to reproduce

1) Open Nuke

2) Within the Script Editor, copy/execute the following:
toolbar = nuke.toolbar("Nodes")
draw_menu = toolbar.menu("Draw")
roto_menu_item = draw_menu.findItem("Roto")
print "Draw icon:", draw_menu.icon()
print "Draw>Roto icon:", roto_menu_item.icon()

Result: Nuke's Script Editor will print the following:
Result: Draw icon:
Draw>Roto icon: Roto.png

Workaround
Unknown.
