I too work on mac OS X but didn't encounter the problem.
if  menubar is/or not checked for bg behav, I can always edit it 
using the menu tools...never meet a grayed out menubar name in the 
list

I don't know why this difference although I have sometimes another 
problem (similar)

It happens that the menubar is merely not in the list !!!
and I also don't know how it happens.
I delete the menubar with AO and
I re-create my menubar with the menu tools..;and thne it works.

Cheers.
