Question #264301 on Sikuli changed:

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I removed the pointers to the Mac question from your question, since these 2 problems are not related (see comment #1)
When you use capture(SCREEN) on Mac, the top menu bar is shown in the image and not black as in your case.

In your Linux case, the problem is with the internally used Java Robot class and it's feature captureScreen(). Apparently the missing (black) portions are not available in the buffers, Robot is accessing to grab the screen content.
Hence SikuliX does not have it either.

as mentioned: I know that problem (facing it myself with my testing),
but not willing to track it down in the moment.
