Sep 8, 2015 at 15:14 comment added Lee Joramo Weirdly that is the answer to the problem. Apple's support article about enabling the Messages menu bar icon does not mention the requirement for enabling Bonjour. I had disabled Bonjour Messaging since I never use it, and I consider any unused network service to be a potential security problem.
Feb 24, 2015 at 21:46 comment added grovberg I don't know why this got a downvote because it appears to be the correct answer (and StackExchange won't let me upvote yet). Enabling Bonjour messaging made the option re-appear under Preferences > General. Disabling Bonjour both hid the option and disabled the menubar icon. Thanks!
