That's a puzzle; I don't even know how to produce that effect deliberately. Do you have any CE handlers installed on the menus themselves?

FindWindow() has no good role in an OS X application. See FB_5_4_2_Examples > FBShell, which shows the CarbonEvent way to update menus, by installing handlers for {_kEventClassCommand, _kEventCommandUpdateStatus} on the application and the windows.
