I am definitely doing something wrong here, but cannot figure out how to do it correctly.
Anyway, if you want to run telnet and having the start menu installed, you can start nickel by choosing "options > emergency exit" from the main menu (rather than from any sub menu), instead of "run nickel." This will skip my modifications and continue to run the rcS (almost) like the original.

Edit: I think the cause for telnet working when calling nickel via the emergency exit and not when calling nickel via the regular menu point is that I run the menu in a loop inside of the rcS, and some command that would be executed after rcS finishes are never executed. The emergency exit breaks the loop and rcS finishes.
