Hi Richard

I have this in my code:

using System;
using System.Text;
using umbraco.cms.presentation.Trees;

namespace MyAssembly
{
    public class loadNews : BaseTree
    {
        public loadNews(string application) 
            : base(application)
        { }
        protected override void CreateRootNode(ref XmlTreeNode rootNode)
        {
            rootNode.Icon = FolderIcon;
            rootNode.OpenIcon = FolderIconOpen;
            rootNode.NodeType = "init" + TreeAlias;
            rootNode.NodeID = "init";
        }
        /// 
        /// Override the render method to create the news tree
        /// 
        /// 
        public override void Render(ref XmlTree Tree)
        {
            // Create tree node to allow sending a newsletter
            var viewSubscribers = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
            viewSubscribers.Text = "Vis tilmeldte";
            viewSubscribers.Icon = "docPic.gif";
            viewSubscribers.Action = "javascript:openViewSubscribers()";
            // Add the node to the tree
            Tree.Add(viewSubscribers);
            var sendNews = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
            sendNews.Text = "Send nyhedsmail";
            sendNews.Icon = "docPic.gif";
            sendNews.Action = "javascript:openSendNews()";
            // Add the node to the tree
            Tree.Add(sendNews);
        }
        public override void RenderJS(ref StringBuilder Javascript)
        {
            Javascript.Append(@"
                function openViewSubscribers() {
                    parent.right.document.location.href = 'news/viewSubscribers.aspx';
                }
         ");
            Javascript.Append(@"
                function openSendNews() {
                    parent.right.document.location.href = 'news/sendNews.aspx';
                }
         ");
        }
    }
}

So it need the NodeID too? where do you get the unique value to the ID, in your example menuItem?
I have worked from this example: http://www.geckonewmedia.com/blog/2009/8/3/how-to-create-a-custom-section-in-umbraco-4

I don't remember if it was a problem when I created a custom section in Umbraco 4.5.x but now I use Umbraco 4.7.

I looked at this solution from Morten http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/11345-Custom-tree-and-section-Text-duplicate-issue, which is much the same as you suggest Richard.

I came to this solution:

public override void Render(ref XmlTree Tree)
        {
            // Create tree node to allow sending a newsletter
            var viewSubscribers = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
            viewSubscribers.NodeID = "uniqueViewSubscribers";
            viewSubscribers.Text = "Vis tilmeldte";
            viewSubscribers.Icon = "docPic.gif";
            viewSubscribers.Action = "javascript:openViewSubscribers()";
            viewSubscribers.Menu = null;
            // Add the node to the tree
            Tree.Add(viewSubscribers);

            var sendNews = XmlTreeNode.Create(this);
            sendNews.NodeID = "uniqueSendNews";
            sendNews.Text = "Send nyhedsmail";
            sendNews.Icon = "docPic.gif";
            sendNews.Action = "javascript:openSendNews()";
            sendNews.Menu = null;
            // Add the node to the tree
            Tree.Add(sendNews);

        }

where I have added the NodeID and set the Menu attribute to null.
Now it don't duplicate the text.
