Yes I had the same issue on the Mac with CTRLR, the app which builds DMoteControl. I am away from my Mac for a few days, but when I get back, I will see if they have fixed the issue in a newer release.
As you mentioned, the menu options are there, just unlabeled. You will only need to fish around long enough to find the MIDI input and output ports. After that, the menus aren't really needed.
