This is just a theory, but I think you might've uncovered a fun bug.
I'm guessing that you've got config.removeDefaultJS = external set in
your main template and that the javascript produced by that
abomination of a menu (*MENU_LAYERS) is DIFFERENT ON EVERY PAGE. This
would mean a different js temp js file for every page on the site and,
if there are *other* things on pages that can change the js in the
document head (i.e. if you have pages in that menu that are not
available for some user groups...), possibly multiple js files being
generated for a given page depending on how it's accessed.

I'd encourage you to test this theory and (if it seems true) to file a
bug report.
