i noticed this too. After looking into the matter, i found that a simple
change to /etc/menu-methods/wmaker seems to fix the problem. I also
noticed that someone already filed a bug report, hopefully they officially
fix it soon.

My /etc/menu-methods/wmaker is attached.

#!/usr/sbin/install-menu
#
# Generates Window Maker menus for all registered applications.
compat="menu-1"

!include menu.h

genmenu="menu.hook"
rootprefix="/etc/X11/WindowMaker/"
userprefix="GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/"
treewalk=(M)
rootsection="/Debian"

function exec($action,$com)= \
        "  \"" $title "\" " ifnempty($shortcut, "SHORTCUT " $shortcut " ") $action " " esc($com,"*") "\n" 

supported
x11=	exec("EXEC",$command) 
wm=	exec("RESTART",$command) 
text=	exec("EXEC",term())
wmaker= exec("",$command ifnempty($arg," " $arg))
endsupported

preoutput= "/* Automatically generated file. Do not edit (see /usr/doc/menu/README) */\n\n#include \"wmmacros\"\n\n#include <menu.prehook>\n"

postoutput= "\n#include <menu.posthook>\n"

startmenu= ifnempty($title, "\n" $title " MENU \n")
submenutitle= ""
endmenu= ifnempty($title, $title " END\n")
