The surprise is that it isn't possible to do this to the contents of the menu bar itself: the menus there are fixed when the pane is instantiated, I believe. So my question: is this intentional? Is it desireable? (And what does Legacy CLIM do? :-)
I can't object to this behaving in the expected way, if you want to take the effort to make it work. It makes sense to me. On the other hand, since a command table (and its menu) are shared global resources rather than part of the local state of a frame, I'm having trouble imagining uses other than resolving the obvious "I just added a new command, why can't I see it?" situation, which shouldn't arise often anyway if you organize your commands into logical menus.
