Yeah, that's the same issue. DrRacket tries to update that menu in the time after you click on the menubar, before the menus are displayed. It then also follows up with a callback later to do it again since that first attempt can fail.
This is something that probably requires a different strategy at the DrRacket level, but I'm not sure what's the right approach. It may be best for DrRacket to just stop using the on-demand callback (altho that callback is very convenient!).
