I'm getting something similar with Gnome 2.14 in Debian Sid.  It 
actually improved slightly with an update yesterday or the day before.  
At first, it displayed only the main menu and any attempt to click on an 
item produced an error message.  Now most or all of the menu structure 
seems to be intact, but clicking on an item brings up a raw XML page in 
my browser.

It sure looks pretty, though.
