Actually, it's the "%small.xpm%" which makes it die.

The same icons I used with 2.0.40 kept working.

Because I also use a menu which is identical to the one above, but without
the title, and have put it into FvwmButtons. I also have an hotkey associated
with RxvtLarge and RxvtMedium.

This is a good point :-)
Also, I tried to use FvwmButtons with both the config files you ship, but
the button bar simply doesn't appear.
The module tries to load, because it complains if there are syntax errors,
otherwise it silently does nothing.
The same goes for FvwmConfig and WinList.
Pager works, and also Identify, IconBox, Banner, Talk.
All The Best,
