I've seen something similar when restarting fvwm -- perhaps that bug
is related to this one.

Anyway, in my .fvwmrc I have lines like

        # Font selection -- can be conditionalized via CPP or M4.
        #FvwmM4 -m4-prefix ".fvwm/fonts-m4"
        #Read ".fvwm/fonts"
        FvwmCpp ".fvwm/fonts-cpp"

and that works fine (fonts-cpp is appended below). Maybe you can
strucuture your .fvwmrc to work around this bug. Personally, I like
having a .fvwm directory, with files categorized by function within
it, but I know some don't care for it.
