Ok I think I understand the problem. It seems to be to do with Window
decoration. In Emerald you have the ability to adjust the height of the
titlebar. I noticed that the taller you made titlebar, the higher the
Whisker Menu and the datetime calender were elevated. Likewise, making
the titlebar less tall reduced the elevation. Disabling the window
decoration plugin completely eliminated the elevation.

My conclusion is that Compiz needs to be told that windows of type panel
cannot be decorated under any circumstances.

Title:
  mintMenu and MATE Menu are elevated/offset by compiz

Status in Compiz:
  New
Status in Linux Mint:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-mate:
  Confirmed
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I try to open the mint menu, it's elevated from the bottom mate
  panel somewhat. It should be seamless against the panel without any
  space. If you type text in the search box, it will reset to its proper
  position. If you click the menu after doing this, it will also appear
  to be normal. If you click it any more, it will go back to having a
  gap. I've attached an image showing this. This from what I've tested
  only seems to affect this plugin, and not the regular mate menu.

  Current setup:

  * OS: Arch linux
  * Desktop Environment: Mate
  * Window Manager: Compiz 0.9.12.1
  * Window Decorator: Emerald 0.9
  * Graphics card: GTX 760
  * Driver: NVidia proprietary
