The PACK001=HASH(0xa556c4) gives a hint as to why calling WriteMakefile twice doesn't work -- MakeMaker is eeeew

... All I can say. PAR Packer isn't remotely near a normal XS library. You can define macros again in postamble, but the makefile becomes unreadable to mere mortals. No core dual lifes use Module::Build as of Perl 5.12. I wont be the first.

I figured out the problem. EUMM deletes or something, I can't tell whats going on, the MY package methods after inheriting them, see cpan/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm#l966 in perl.git. Why? I have no idea. Workaround in Makefile.pl below. My problem is resolved. 
use 5.010000;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Config qw(%Config);
use Data::Dumper;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.

%param =    ( NAME              => 'MM123',
    VERSION_FROM      => 'lib/MM123.pm', # finds $VERSION
