Make i18nmenu_node work with i18n 1.6

i18n 1.6 was just released. Installed but it appears to break i18nmenu_node.

Not sure of the exact reason yet, but downgrading to i18n 1.5 fixes the problem.

Here's the debugging I've done so far; maybe it'll help someone figure out what's up and whether the problem is with i18n or i18nmenu_node.

using i18n 1.6:
In i18nmenu_node_menu_link_alter, $item['language'] is set to the default language when creating or resaving a language specific node and even when switching the node from a language to language neutral. The result is that $item['options']['translations'] doesn't get set, and any translations you create will create their own menu items (instead of allowing you to translate the original menu item).
