You *are* missing something; read about resource specification.  You
asked for all widgets under xterm to have their geometry set to 80x29.
Naturally this includes the pop-up menus.  You really only want the
VT100 widget to have that geometry, so do

xterm*VT100.geometry: 80x29+500+100

(Perhaps this should be in the FAQ.)
