I see easy-menu-define accepts :label for the menu name, ie. the button
which opens the menu or sub-menu. Eg. a top-level item changing on
every redisplay,
(easy-menu-define my-menu global-map "my menu docstring"
'("MyTest"
:label (format "MyTest-%d" (random 100))
["Foo" doctor t]))
Is this a documented feature? It'd be good to describe it in the
docstring. Perhaps something like below, with :help similarly too.

The rest of the elements in MENU are menu items.
A menu item can be a vector of three elements:
