Looks like a difference between compiled and DevMode with respect to the
link handling. If I define the menu links as such, there are no issues in
compiled or dev mode, even with keeping the $entry() call:
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="javascript:launchMenuEvent('PAGE'); return
false;" class="menuClass">
Thanks again for the suggestions.
