Sorry - but the whole approach is way too complicated.
Simply do the following:

temp.menu_2 = HMENU
temp.menu_2 {
    entryLevel=2
    1 = TMENU
    1 {
        wrap = <td class="menuCell">|</td>
        NO = 1
        NO {
            blah
        }
    }
}

temp.menu_3 = COA
temp.menu_3 {
    10 = COA
    10 {
        wrap = <td>|</td>
        10 < styles.content.get
    }
    20 < temp.menu_2
}

No "if", no "ifEmpty", no "ifNotEmpty", just a simple copy of a HMENU
element with a wrap that will be empty (and not wrapped) or not empty (and
wrapped).
Simple as that.
