Well this is not Lift's fault ... Lift application is initialized only once as the servlet filter is. Running boot more then once per context may lead to unexpected behaviors and in LiftRules we have a guard for RuleSeq that they can not be changed after boot is executed.
You could however dynamically re-set the SiteMap ... something like LiftRules.siteMap.map(sm => LiftRules.setSiteMap(SiteMap((sm.menus ++ some_otherMenus):_*)) where some_otherMenus is a List[Menu] (I haven't actually compiled the code but you get the idea) But this is not quite what you want and I'm not even convinced that we should allow things like this.
