'Context menu of drop-down list' ... that's an odd concept :-]
There should be no context menu when you do a context click on an
HTML <select>.

Should the select be snuffing out the bubble of the event, or is it 
up to the context menu to not activate in this case (or ...)

(Note: the context menu does roll up on the final left click on win32, but
the real bug is that that context menu shouldn't be there in the first place).

That's screwed up.

let me clarify.

The popup menu I meant is the normal context menu of the web page, but the bug
shows only when you have a 
1. <select> element (this bugzilla page is full of them)
2. which has no option MULTIPLE (so let's not take the CC: widget)
3. which is in the center or on the right of the page (so let's not take the
Product: widget, but the Platform: one) 
4. you left-click on it (the value list pops up)
5. you right-click on the value list (the page context menu pops up)

if now you don't want to execute a command of the context menu, there is no way
to get rid of the popup

Right.  Step 5 shouldn't produce a context menu.  That's what's screwed up.
