Right, apologies for the belated response.  This is a GTK limitation:
`alpha-background' requires that the GTK-configured window background be
removed, or that background will prompt GTK to set a
_NET_WM_OPAQUE_REGION property encompassing the entire window which
interferes with Emacs's partial transparency, but removing this
background renders the menu-bar transparent, as it does not draw its
background independently.

IMHO this is too much of a fringe issue to be documented in PROBLEMS.
It doesn't impact the functionality of the menu bar at all...

Having an entry there is better than having to respond to all the
similar bug reports in the observable future.  PROBLEMS is easier to
search than debbugs.
