overridekeys ineffective when run in subshell

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to remove a keybinding in rc.wmii.local:/^fn Action-overridekeys
2. Rerun rc.wmii-local

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

 Expect the removed keybinding to be disabled, instead it still works.

What version of the product are you using (wmii -v)? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

 wmii.rc:
fn Action {
       cmd=$1 action=Action-$cmd { shift
               if(wi_fn-p $action)
                       $action $*
               if not
                       wi_runcmd `{wi_script $cmd} $*
       } &
}

 The ampersand is the problem of course, overridekeys has no chance to
modify rc.wmii's environment when run in a subshell.
