Lua: openmw.input bugs during main menu on scripts attached to MENU

Triggers/actions made during the main menu do not persist when loading into the game, whether using new game or loading a saved game.

using openmw .49-RC5

No other mods than my test mod

Test mod: https://pastebin.com/ZfXCC5dT

Logs: https://pastebin.com/MmabfksL

reproduction steps:

1. attach test mod to MENU
2. load into main menu
3. make bindings for the test action and trigger in settings->scripts
4. load into the game
5. try and use the bindings (nothing happens)
6. console -> reloadlua
7. try the bindings again (should work now)

When loading into the game the following errors appear in the log

[17:23:51.784 I] Changing to interior

The error that "TestAction" does not exist is spammed every frame since my test script checks it every frame.
