I can't reproduce this using Tkinter built against Tk 8.6.6. There were 
a lot of issues with menus, the event loop, and so on that have been 
fixed--I don't recall seeing this exact issue but I did see similar 
things with "ghost windows" hanging around in a system menu after being 
destroyed. You may want to update your installation of Tk.
