We're looking at ways to solve this problem, but since none were safe, it's
best not to introduce new problems.  Since the window has not been shown
yet, we don't know its frame size, so when we move the window it's all
relative to the frame instead of the client area.  For now you can use this
information to workaround your problems, but we do plan on trying to fix
this bug in 6.0.

Right, but if it makes you feel any better, it fails for all platforms.
However, this particular "bug" is fixed, but we didn't think it was safe
enough to put in for a maintenance release. You can try hiding the menubar
instead, as a workaround.
