Thank you for this bug report!
This seems to happen if all Recommends needed for menu generation are
installed, but no other packages with .desktop files are installed and
hence /usr/share/applications/ does not yet exist.

Indeed, this only happens if all Recommends (except "menu") are
installed. It does not happen if any of them (except "menu") is
missing.
I'm not surprised that I missed that corner case, but it indeed needs
to be fixed anyways. A simple test on the existence of
/usr/share/applications/ in generate-flwm-menu-from-desktop-files
should do it.
