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.
