Unfortunately the DOM needs to be fully loaded before the menus can be
built into their final form.  A workaround for this would be to move the
JS that builds the menus out of <head> and into an inline <script> just
after #main-navigation and #page-menu.  If it was done cleanly, I think
we'd accept a patch for this.

It just didn't get reviewed and merged before we branched for release
engineering.  There's always branches that don't make it into the
release.  ;)
