It's a bug, it's already in bugzilla (I don't know the number
offhand). I don't think anyone has investigated yet, but 
I recently had a theory that it's caused by GtkAccelLabel changing its
size request in an idle function. Could be a totally bogus theory.

The arrow is normally visible when the menu is really large and needs
to be scrolled.
