Yes, I see the same.  A simpler test case is:

  (tab-bar-mode -1)
  (tab-bar-mode 1)
  (tab-bar-mode -1)

This means that running (tab-bar-mode -1) (tab-bar-mode 1)
should be avoided when emacs is started, because it disables
the menu bar.  Maybe there is a bug in the display code.
But adding 'redisplay' in the middle fixes the mess
created by enabling/disabling the tab bar:

  (tab-bar-mode -1)
  (tab-bar-mode 1)
  (redisplay)
  (tab-bar-mode -1)
