I wonder if a solution here might:

  1. 90% blur/fade the menu so that it is faintly visible (per 
Quicklists/status)
  2. Slide the title off the top and fade up/de-blue the menu as the pointer 
approaches (rather than the current instant switch)

For (2) this transition could be in proportion to the pointer proximity
and movement, perhaps building on the UI-interaction proposed for the
hiding of the left-hand Launcher, being scaled proximity rather than
time-based it would be clearer to the user what is happening and and
that it is fully reversible by moving the pointer in the opposite
direction.  My thoughts would be that by the time the pointer has
entered the menu area it remains 100% menu (just as at the moment) but
that the transition is made on approach (in the half a panel-height
below).

If the user is getting close they would see the title spring away and
the menubar deblur and if they moved away again it would be back to the
title of the currently focused window.
