In case anyone is wondering, these screenshots are only visible in the
google group uploaded files.

You missed quoting the very next sentence:
"Sure, we could change TSVN to not show any icons, or use ownerdrawn
menus which will revert the Vista menu to the old look and deal with
complaints from other users because of that..."

TSVN 1.4.x used the older ownerdrawn menus which caused the complaints
from Vista users in the first place, but did not show the whitespace
problem.

It seems from your screenshots that your context menu does not include
other ownerdrawn items, unless there is something hidden in the 'New'
submenu. Could this be caused by a video driver? I'm talking about the
driver itself rendering the context menu incorrectly, not a menu entry
for the driver.
