Here's the issue: setting the menuHistory of menu buttons would work,
but *only* if a new value was being set (not the same as the current
value). So the fix was to trigger the menuPick message when the
menuHistory command was issued irregardless of the current value of
the menu button.

That's working now. I just tried it again to make sure, with both
pulldown and option menus.

script of button 1:
on mouseDown
  set the menuPick of button 3 to 2
end mouseDown

script of button 2:
on mouseDown
  set the menuPick of button 4 to 2
end mouseDown

script of pulldown button 3:
on menuPick pChosen
  switch pChosen
    default
      set the label of me to pChosen
      answer pChosen
  end switch
end menuPick

script of option button 4:
on menuPick pChosen
  switch pChosen
    default
      set the label of me to pChosen
      answer pChosen
  end switch
end menuPick

Are you seeing something different?
