Why exactly is this more pertinent to your particular application than,
say, Microsoft Word or Photoshop, where the sheets and menus look like a
regular app?
Making your app different than a regular app is never a good thing, not
for you or your customers.
Now, if you wanted to design some sort of hack that made all sheets and
menus for every application opaque, at least things would be consistent :)

have 20/20 vision so they need the screen to be crisp and clear. I
expect that Apple will sooner or later fix this problem by exposing
the alpha component of context menus to us developers but in the
meantime I need a fix, which is what I'm looking for on this forum.

If you and your customers have a problem with standard system-wide
interface practices, you should all file issues with Apple instead of
wrenching the UI into something out of place for your application.
