If the handle given with a menu item has elipses ('()') the method is automatically invoked.

appuifw.app.menu  = [( u"Start", self.start(go=True))]

def start(self, go=True):
    if go:
        print 'hi'

Is this standard behaviour? Is it at all possible to invoke the handle with a value?

Yes, it's standard Python behaviour. Use:

appuifw.app.menu  = [( u"Start", lambda:self.start(go=True))]
