"hiding the menu does not disable it's functionality."
This should be the default .. everything else I would call as a bug. For thunar
you can use all shortcuts, no matter if the menu is hidden or not.

Consider a unexperienced user who is giving a try on thunar's options, or who
just missclicks "show hidden files". Probably such a user will not know about
CTRL+V or CTRL+M.

Having such users and "minimal noise" in mind I would say the most confortable
solution would be the toolbar-icon + a configuration in xfconf 
"hidden-menu-show-toolbar-icon" for people which dont want to see the extra
icon ... however this would require some work.

My second choice would be Viktor's proposal, which is nice, since it's less
work to implement ;)  As you said, if somebody hides the menubar on purpose,
probably it is an experienced user which does not need it, and which only will
hide the menubar once. So it should not hurt much to display a message-dialog
this one time.
