I may be wrong here, but as far as I remember, this is basically bug #408347. The problem is that the same style is used for the menu items in the GtkMenu and inside the GtkMenuBar widgets.

Yep, I think that's the problem - thus the issue with a lot of 'dark' themes (like the one we use in Moblin) which leads to black text on a black background.
