I think there is, though. I don't think the Motif hints are reflected
in the menu selections (how could they be?).

There's no bug, that's a feature! :)
There's no way for FVWM to know which of the 7 (or whatever) buttons the
user defined should be ignored when the window hint for "can't iconify"
is set (for example).
So, it chooses the Motif defaults; that is, for iconify or minimize, it
chooses the second to the right. Etc.
If you want to tell FVWM that different buttons should take effect for
the different Motif hints, then see the ButtonStyle command, where you
can attach MWMDecorMenu, MWMDecorMin, and MWMDecorMax flags to the
appropriate buttons.
I'm not sure if there's any way to get FVWM to ignore these hints
altogether? I guess if you turn off MWMFunctions?
