I tried installing freeciv-client-gtk 2.2.4-1ubuntu0.1 on my Natty live CD and (a) the global menu was correctly suppressed (launched from menus or command line, (b) I didn't see any regressions as far as I tested it (only a few minutes). I also sanity checked freeciv-server, freeciv-client-sdl, and freeciv-client-xaw. (To answer Karl's earlier question: I didn't see any menubar trouble with freeciv-xaw; I know this is a patched version, but I checked and Michael's patch only affects the Gtk client. In any case, freeciv-xaw is unfortunately broken in other ways.)
I installed by enabling universe and -proposed and installing the new package from clean, on the grounds that others are more likely to test the upgrade.

Oh dear! The symptom does not sound familiar. I'm not in a position to conveniently help track this down.

Bug description:
  In freeciv there is a menu below the cities display (F4, Civilization
  -> Cities). The menu disappears if you're using unity.

  == Ubuntu SRU Justification ==

  The game is nigh unplayable if you cannot have access to Diplomacy and
  Cities menu.  Everyone using GTK+ Freeciv in Unity is affected by
  this.

  Reproduction steps:
   1) Open Freeciv
   2) Start a random scenario
   3) Go to Civilization->Cities in the main menu
   4) You'll see near the bottom of the Cities pane is an empty spot where a menu should be.

  I've uploaded a patch to oneiric and natty-proposed that disables
  global menus entirely.  Please test!
