oh and by the way, I've just installed gtk 3.10 and I now get the same placement issue as you :-/ so at least for this bug, it definitely has something to do with gtk 3.10 (which so far has proven to be the worst version ever of this library...)

In the menus (applications menu, right-click menus), items often lose their backgrounds (become fully transparent) when the mouse has touched them (and they stay that way until the menu is closed and re- opened. 2. AFAICT, the menus use the default fill, and there's no way through the GUI (I haven't tinkered around with the config files yet) to override this.
