I disagree, not showing the menu bar is part of the design of Unity.
Other applications don't get one either, or at least when I ran Unity
they didn't, particularly gnome-terminal. Perhaps the bug fix you
refer to affected the display of the menu on mousing over the top of
the screen; if I invoked gvim from gnome-terminal that didn't work,
but it did if I used the vim icon that came with Unity.
Before disagreeing, if would be beneficial to actually look at the bugs and bugfix I linked to, and understand the situation. You clearly haven't. Not that it matters.
