Good to know; i did not find any mention of
'`|back.?ticks|sub.?shell' in the above context in the manual.

As to use of FvwmConsole ... i tried to replicate OP's menu
generation there. That takes to much time, here at least, to test
instead of update-configuration-restart-fvwm cycle. I have given up
on the idea of using FvwmConsole any further for any reason for now.
