Another workaround suggested in bug #937200 fixes the bold font issue for me: remove the fonts-unfonts-core package with 'sudo apt-get remove fonts-unfonts-core'.
And Daniel's workaround in comment 4 fixes the menu colour for me (thanks!). Attached is the patch corresponding to his change (use 'sudo patch -p0 < netbeans-fix-menu-colour.diff' to apply it).
