Hi Andreas. It works fine on my TYPO3 v4.1 installations ( I tested it on 3 
different installations.)

But try this improved version instead, and see if that works better.

The PHP script:

-- cut --
<?php

class user_menuFunc {

 function hideHiddenSubs($menuArr ,$conf) {
  $this->pObj = $conf['parentObj'];
  $limit = t3lib_div::intval_positive($conf['limit']);
  $limit = $limit ? $limit : 9999;
  $new_menuArr = array();
  foreach ($menuArr as $pageFields) {
   if ($this->ishidden($pageFields['uid'])) {
    $new_menuArr[] = $pageFields;
    if (count($new_menuArr)==$limit) {
     return $new_menuArr;
    }
   }
  }
  return $new_menuArr;
 }

 function ishidden($uid) {
  $row['pid'] = $uid;
  while ($row['pid']!=0 && $row['pid']!=$this->pObj->id) {
   $res = 
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTquery('pid,hidden','pages','uid='.$row['pid']);
   $row = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_fetch_assoc($res);
   if ($row['hidden']) {
    return false;
   }
  }
  return true;
 }
}

?>
-- cut --


The Typoscript for my testmenu object:
-- cut --
temp.newpages = COA
temp.newpages {
 wrap = <div style="border: 1px solid black;"> | </div>
 10 = TEXT
 10.value = New Pages
 10.wrap = <div> | </div>

 20 = HMENU
 20.special = updated
 20.special.value = 52
 20.special {
  #mode = lastUpdated
  mode = tstamp
  depth = 99
  maxAge = 3600*24*7*8
  #limit = 5
 }
 20.1 = TMENU
 20.1 {
  wrap = <ul> | </ul>
  expAll = 1
  minItems = 1
  maxItems = 5
  itemArrayProcFunc = user_menuFunc->hideHiddenSubs
  itemArrayProcFunc.limit = 5
  NO {
   allWrap =  <li> | </li>
  }
 }
}
page.44 < temp.newpages
-- cut --

BTW: Setting "itemArrayProcFunc.limit = 5" makes it work similar to setting 
"limit = 5" on the HMENU object.
