Hi Will,
My answer suggests exactly the same thing as the code you have quoted, so I don't see anything wrong here. In addition, if you omit the z-index style, you may still have problems in particular scenarios, because subsequent Splitter panes create higher stacking contexts and the Menu groups cannot overlap them.
