Would this also be true of any application menu that updates its contents on
the fly?

Yes, potentially, depending on how the application updates its menu contents.

I think I can fix some of this problem in the Menu Manager's accessibility implementation - I'll probably try sending a kEventMenuPopulate Carbon event to the menu before returning its children, so that any client of that event (which is typically used to dynamically add menu items to a menu) will have a chance to add its items. This should fix the Apple menu issue. However, if an app just manually adds or updates its menu items before allowing a menu to be displayed, without using the Carbon event, then there's not much we can do to trigger that.
