Just contacted the man page, the correct syntax is:
DestroyMenu recreate WallpaperMenu
> + I PipeRead 'for i in `ls -d /home/mark/images/wallpaper/*/`; do echo AddToMenu WallpaperMenu \\"`basename $i | sed "s/_/ /g"`\\" Popup WallPaperMenu`basename $i` ; echo -e DestroyMenu WallpaperMenu`basename $i`\\nAddToMenu WallpaperMenu`basename $i`\\n+ DynamicPopupAction Function CreateWallpaperMenu2 $i WallpaperMenu`basename $i`; done'
Please don't do this unless you want to spend hours debugging this.
Create a shell script that you may fully test from the command line and
run it using PipeRead.

I suggest you to use fvwm-menu-directory, see its man page.
This way you don't need to write any code, only supply correct options
and copy/paste one or another example in the man page. Try this:
DestroyFunc CreateWallpaperMenu
AddToFunc CreateWallpaperMenu
+ I PipeRead `fvwm-menu-directory --command-file 'Exec qiv -z %f' --dir $0`
DestroyMenu MyWallpapers
AddToMenu MyWallpapers
+ MissingSubmenuFunction CreateWallpaperMenu
+ "Tiles" Popup $[HOME]/images/tiles
+ "Pictures" Popup $[HOME]/images/pictures
