Evaluating (menu-bar-mode nil) fails to remove menubar as it should.

Running interactive command menu-bar-mode toggles the menubar as
expected.

Evaluating (menu-bar-mode t) causes the menu bar to appear, as expected.

> Evaluating (menu-bar-mode nil) fails to remove menubar as it should.

Check the NEWS file: a nil argument to minor-modes like menu-bar-mode
now means "turn it on" rather than "toggle".  I.e. if you want to turn
it off, pass it -1.
