Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 The css that causes this in theme.css has an inline comment indicating it
 was added to keep the overlay over 'WP Pointers':

 `z-index: 10000; /* Over WP Pointers. */`

 This was added in r33068, and at the time the issue with the submenus
 going under the overlay
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31544#comment:8 was noted] and an
 attempt to resolve was made in r33111.

 These z-index conflicts are very difficult to resolve, maybe we should go
 back to @obenland's
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31544#comment:6 original
 suggestion to not show pointers when the modal is open]?
