Your analysis seems plausible to me, and I agree Emacs shouldn't be
changed to accommodate QtCurve. Do you know if the Emacs treatment of
updating the menu bar is more or less unique to Emacs? I haven't
observed "sticky highlighting" with QtCurve with any other Gtk+ apps
under KDE (e.g., Gimp, Eclipse). If it is standard procedure in Gtk+
to always do deep updating of the menu bar, then that could account
for the asymmetry (and also for why QtCurve fails to handle the Emacs
case).
