Oh, wow... I never saw a machine asking for help in a such way! :) Btw, can you please check if keeping a terminal with this command running: - dbus monitor --session --dest com.canonical.Unity.Panel.Service.Desktop --object-path /com/canonical/Unity/Panel/Service
Shows to you something like: /com/canonical/Unity/Panel/Service: com.canonical.Unity.Panel.Service.ReSync ('libappmenu.so',) in sync with the "Help" show? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

It's visible whether you have the mouse over the menubar or not, as shown in the attached video. This happens only very rarely so I'm not sure of the triggering conditions, and it also fixes itself after a short amount of time / a few commands are run.
