Jurgen,
I have committed this change (r1094) and also updated the packaging instructions accordingly.
It seems to me we need to update the postinstall actions of all existing scripts that put things in the start menu (currently only a few), and that something similar should likely be done for "Desktop" when placing icons on the desktop. Is that right?

Is the "Programs" text not also requiring translation when adding things to Start Menu->Programs?

Right.

Probably, but in German windows it's still "Desktop". So that works here. Not sure about other languages, though.

The exported variable points to the OSGeo4W program group. So "Programme", as it's called in German, is included already. New program groups could probably be created as "%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%/../Group".
patch to pass OSGEO4W_STARTMENU to postinstall script
