You always can modify the maya scripts to include your menus in the first place.
The render menu is in the RenRenderMenu.mel.
I include a sample to get an impression how you can do it.

5.0.1 should have fixed these problems. Have you tried it with that version?

global proc RenRenderMenu( string $parent )
