If you want a per-label behavior, you could try adding a new menu
entry:
LABEL change2menu
COM32 menu.c32
And replace your 'UI vesamenu.c32' with 'DEFAULT vesamenu.c32' (instead
of your prior 'DEFAULT lunatics', and the LABEL lunatics should be
placed as the first menu entry in your configuration file).
With these changes, your default behavior is vesamenu, with the option
to reload the same menu but using menu.c32.
It is possible that these changes would allow you to launch the kernel
as you wanted, without waiting for further developments.
