I experience exactly the same problem. I have been messing around with Arch Linux for the past few weeks (w/ GNOME 3.24), and despite my best efforts I haven't been able to solve this bug/glitch. Repeated (latest) installs, but no luck. Have you made any progress?
One thing that may be related is a strange Nautilus error message when one attempts to rename one of the desktop icons for the first time. Try the wastebasket, for example, and let me know what happens for you.

If I place icons on the desktop in Gnome Shell they look fine, until I log out and log in again. On the second login they have moved half under the top bar.
