What's odd about this screenshot is that the black area is the correct size (roughly, based on eyeballing it) and the menu is "auto"-sized to it's content. So I'd be working on the assumption that the list content is actually "there" somewhere, just not visible for whatever reason.

Can you check on a non-Moodle Bootstrap site? Like http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/
That should tell us if it's the Bootstrap code, or the modifications made for Moodle. This area was rewritten to use YUI javascript rather than JQuery so there may be differences due to that (though as far as I'm aware it's just setting the height of the container, so I wouldn't have expected any issue).
Actually, if you're testing moodle.org, the last time i looked they had an extra special custom_menu that was slightly incompatible with Bootstrap themes. So perhaps try http://qa.moodle.net/ as well.

In my 2.4 site the javascript "head" file (and the "footer" one, though it doesn't block renderering as much since it's at the bottom of the page) are actually empty. I filed a bug, number MDL-35230 which claims to be fixed, so you shouldn't have an empty file anymore. If you follow that link and actually see javascript, then you might want to consider moving it to the footer javascript (and if it's empty then perhaps that bug isn't as fixed as it claims).
Some of the things you can do to make the theme CSS smaller, and therefore faster is to for example, manually delete RTL rules if you're not using them, delete Moodle modules you're not using (since Moodle will stick the CSS in anyway), run the CSS through a reformatter to make it more compressible. There are various bugs filed about these issues too, mostly linked from MDL-39094
If you're handy then some of them can be done manually to trim down the CSS size.

Or tweak the custom menu renderer to add a classname (e.g. menu1, menu2 etc.) to the HTML.
I like your background, it's very similar to the one I use on my test site so I don't get confused about whether I'm on the live site or not.
