I must be misunderstanding something basic about how to properly use EModelService.

I'm trying to find a menu in my model from within a handler. I can find it by traversing the model down from the application, but findElements says the menu doesn't exist. Here's my code:

assert "view" == ((MTrimmedWindow)application.getChildren().get(0)).getChildren().get(1).getElementId();
assert modelService.findElements(application, "view", null, null).isEmpty();

The first method works. My model has a trimmed window with a main menu with two menus. I'm trying to get the second one with id "view".
The second method fails. I've also tried searching by class.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong but I can't see what.

Looking at the source of ModelServiceImpl I determined that findElements doesn't look at menus. It looks at the children and windows and trim windows, but ignores menus. Is there some other way of finding a menuitem in the model by id short of writing my own code to search through the model?

This is a bug IMHO.
