There's something even weirder: sometimes the menus do open, but are
completely wrong.  The items seem to be "held over" from the menu that
was in the same position in the menubar, _for the previous buffer
displayed in the window_.

For example, let's say my saved desktop makes emacs start up with the
.emacs file opened, so the menubar corresponds to Emacs Lisp mode.  In
position 7 on the menubar is the Emacs Lisp menu, with items like
"Indent Line".  Now I want to send some email, so in the same window I
open a Message mode buffer.  For this mode, the Message menu is in
position 7.  Sometimes it will be empty as reported, but sometimes
the items will be those from the Emacs Lisp menu!  What a ^*%! mess.

I hope this will help to have it tracked down and fixed _fast_.  It is
the most important program in the distribution after all :-)
