The workaround is to uninstall/purge appmenu-gtk and appmenu-gtk3 (if present).
This package also contains the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80appmenu* files.

@Jeremy: when appmenu-gtk is uninstalled, gnome-terminal behaves
properly (regarding the "Show menubar by default" setting), at least for
me.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
  
  If you click on the global menus the View->Show MenuBar and (un)check
  it, it won't work, the menu will stay at the 'global menus panel' or
  whatever it is. In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now,
  considering that global menus are the future, and also considering that
  a global menu has the advantage not to keep its own space on the screen
  :)
+ 
+ WORKAROUND:
+ sudo apt-get purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3

** Package changed: ubuntu => gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
