It's always the same flaw that is surfacing here. My patch fixed the main
nasty effect but not this one.

That's clearly the solution and I really tried to implement it when I was
working on the bug. But I found that would have meant either obfuscating a
little more the core menu code or nearly rewritting it (the code currently
handles only two types of event: keystroke and mouse click and doesn't treat
mouse movement as an event; the mouse auto-opening patch works around this
limitation but this approach proves to be bug-prone) and I didn't want to
take either way.

Yes, another nasty side-effect.
