I don't think it's directly linked with package management as much as that being the best example of the bug.
If the menu contents change, then the next time the menu's open gnome has to reload all the menu icons. When it opens it draws the menu with enough space for the menu item names, but then has to expand it to fit the icons - and if there's not enough space at the bottom of the screen it scrolls instead. I imagine you could fix the problem by forcing it to load the icons before drawing the menu on screen, or redrawing the menu once they're loaded anyway.
