2.4.x does the same, the difference is that there are slight changes
which files are read upon startup. I had a similar problem caused by a
config file I had in my home directory that wasn't used by 2.2 version
but is used by 2.4. Try to see which config files are read, use strace
and search for ^open. It should use the system config files in
/etc/X11/fvwm (you can see which one contains menu and check whether
that one is read).
