You can manually tweak gtk.MenuToolButton to do what you want:

        menu_button = gtk.MenuToolButton(None, None)
        hbox = menu_button.get_child()
        button, toggle_button = hbox.get_children()
        hbox.remove(button)

        img = gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_DIRECTORY,
                                       gtk.ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR)

        arrow = toggle_button.get_child()
        toggle_button.remove(arrow)
        hbox = gtk.HBox()
        hbox.add(img)
        hbox.add(gtk.Label('hello'))
        hbox.add(arrow)
        toggle_button.add(hbox)

Your code is wrong as you call container.reorder_child(arrow, -1)
before arrow is added to container. To get the arrow last you also
need to pack_end() add it, not pack_start(). Then you calling
container.reorder_child(arrow, -1) should work.
