It is because the value of the `menu-bar-final-items' variable[1]
is modified in emacs-w3m buffers locally in order to place the
w3m menu at the forefront of the menu bar.  You can customize it
as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook
 'w3m-mode-hook
 (lambda nil
   (let ((item 'tools) ;; Place the `user-utils' menu after this.
	 (items (delq 'user-utils (copy-sequence menu-bar-final-items))))
     (setq menu-bar-final-items
	   (append
	    (nreverse (cons 'user-utils (memq item (reverse items))))
	    (cdr (memq item items)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

[1] If you want to know the value, you'd better evaluate the
    following form in the *scratch* buffer:

(with-current-buffer "*w3m*"
  menu-bar-final-items)
