Two solutions: Patch musca to use either lsx (which is used in dmenu_run) or dmenu-path-c from the AUR. Of course lsx would be the nicer solution, because it's already included in dmenu.

Reporting this upstream is probably a deadend. The project has been abandoned two years ago. I wrote a patch for this issue and would offer an AUR package including the patch built upon the abs-PKGBUILD.

Yeah, this is broken and upstream seems dead. Moved to AUR. Feel free to adopt.
