Pekwm dynamic menus bug - any workaround?

I've run into a pekwm bug that's present in both the version in [extra] and the git version, and is basically a showstopper: entries in dynamic menus, generated like this

Entry { Actions = "Dynamic /directory/to/script" }

become unselectable after the first time their parent menu is opened. In other words, each submenu of a dynamic menu can only be used once; after that the main menu must be closed and called again. This is a pretty big pain in the neck.

I've tried, as a workaround, creating a menu that would refresh only when pekwm gets reloaded, as is done in the default menu for virtual desktops:

Submenu = "Applications" { COMMAND = "/path/to/menu/generator" }

But that doesn't work; it simply doesn't produce a menu. How can I work around this obnoxious bug? Is there any way to get menu-refresh-on-reload working?
