I bet you did separate entries for menu and submenu in your DS/TO :) 
Otherwise you would not make them separate lib objects.

So, what you expect? :) It is WYSIWYG: you mapped separate blocks and 
got separate menus :) All perfectly correct.

What you need is to have only lib.mainMenu and do all menu's (including 
submenus) there. See ACT item state for this. What you want is to render 
submenus only when your main menu item is in ACT state.

This is bad. You should do it through TemplaVoila, not by TS.
