I get the same in vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 occasionally (Unity session). Menus are either partially rendered or not at all. But the shadow rectangle is always there.

affects:	compiz-core → compiz
summary:	- transparent menu + Transparent menu, parts missing

faiwer, if you are using the nvidia driver then that is possibly bug 729979.

However with any graphics driver, I think we can say white menus and transparent menus are probably part of the same problem. So still this bug.

I have the same issue, seems that can be solved by unchecking "all_random" in animation.

In my case every time I click on a menu (such as chromium menu) it redraws.
Should I fill a new bug report?

yellowhat: Sounds like bug 1061475 is closer to your problem.
