I think Selenium doesn't actually take a screenshot from the screen, but it draws the
DOM tree in the screenshot file.
Since the address bar is not part of the DOM, it's sort of expected behavior.

Although I agree it would be quite handy to also have the URL in the screenshot (it
can be accessed through javascript code).

Yes, Selenium takes screenshots on DOM level, and can't make a picture of the browser
menu, statusbar, addressbar etc.
