My fix-list was much shorter:
xbase-clients
nautilus-sendto-empathy
telepathy-indicator

One installing one of those fixed the problem for me.  gnome-terminal now
correctly does not display the menubar when told to do so by saved settings.

Thanks, Daniel!  This issue has been driving me insane for a month.
