I've taken a closer look. And it appears this is a bug introduced here:
 
--- syslinux-3.31-pre3/com32/modules/menumain.c 2006-09-21 17:56:31.000000000 -0700

   { "rows", 12 },
   { "tabmsgrow", 18 },
   { "cmdlinerow", 18 },
-  { "endrow", 24 },
+  { "endrow", -1 },
   { "passwordrow", 11 },
   { "timeoutrow", 20 },
   { NULL, 0 }

So an easy workaround was to revert by setting it to any positive value 
like this:

MENU ENDROW 18

Apparently, there is some inconsistency/conflict with displaying an rle 
during boot and using a negative END_ROW. Also FYI, documentation still 
says default value is 24.
