I can't speak for the themes you're using, but menus in most apps and
also Java Swing apps are marked as what X11 calls "transient windows".
Traditionally these are not adorned by the window manager, so the
"Clearlook" theme is probably a more "normal" theme.

Do other non-java apps' meus get borders in Clearlook?

I would guess that the two themes simply take different decoration
approaches to these windows. Choose the one you like more, or see if
there are options to tune this.
