In your first log for

- Make the second frame with the default menu bar settings.

there is this entry

   9429: Nov 05 22:31:36 dwks gnome-shell[3900]: GEOMETRY: Constraining
0x5000318 in move from 0,0 1328x1308 to 0,0 400x456

Can you please try to find that (or if it got removed a new
corresponding entry) in journalctl and look there for the next entry
whose first line should be

Setting up constraint info:

and tell me what it says.  IIUC those entries have no associated window
information.  The whole format string in mutter's constraints.c here is

   meta_topic (META_DEBUG_GEOMETRY,
               "Setting up constraint info:\n"
               "  orig: %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  new : %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  action_type     : %s\n"
               "  is_user_action  : %s\n"
               "  resize_gravity  : %s\n"
               "  fixed_directions: %s\n"
               "  work_area_monitor: %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  entire_monitor   : %d,%d %dx%d",

It's number should obviously be 9430 but I have no idea how journalctl
works.

Thanks, martin
