This analysis from 2008 by Telic remains relevant even when the exact sequence to reproduce the problem might not be. |
Taint propagation through UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXBUTTONS / UIDROPDOWNMENU_MAXLEVELS, as described in the post you linked, was addressed in patch 3.0.8. As far as I can test, creating a dropdown menu with a larger number of items/levels does not taint those variables on the current live client. It seems to me that the specific mechanism you're describing hasn't been a problem for a few years now.
