That's a bit counter-intuitive, indeed, but building Emacs with 
"--with-x-toolkit=no" means that you ask a "no toolkit" built, in which 
Emacs does not depend on an external toolkit (GTK or Lucid) to draw its 
menu, toolbar and scrollbars.  That's different from a toolkit "without 
X".

This is not a bug.  Closing.
