I'm pretty sure that's the "packages" permission, according to the Permission setting of the menu item itself. Make sure that's not checked in the Policy your new group is using.

You were correct about the packages permission, the components permission hides the entire Extras menu, not just the Installer. That wasn't the ultimate problem, unfortunately.
I did manage to solve the problem, though. I was trying to apply these restricted permissions to the default admin account. I created a third account and put it in my Restricted Admin group and all the menu items disappeared as expected. I'm guessing that being unable to restrict the default admin account is just a fail-safe so you can't accidentally lock yourself out of things.
Also in the course of my testing, I created a new Role called Restricted Administrator and gave it an Authority of 1. I don't know if this helped fix the issue along with the above, but I wanted to put it here in case someone else comes across this.

How can I hide menu item for Administrator? I created a custom menu item named "Editor's Menu", and created a permission for it - "menu_editor". I have two Access Policies: default "Admintrator" and "AdminLite". I checked "menu_editor" item for AdminLite and unchecked for Administrator, but this didn't work. Please help!

It's usually easier to create a separate User Group if you want administrators with limited rights.
