FWIW, I can (sort of) reproduce this with Lucid, but not with GTK.
With GTK, the highlight is turned off as soon as I press mouse-3 (and
it stays off).  With Lucid, the highlight stays on when I press
mouse-3 and while the menu is visible.  It stays on when a release
mouse-3 outside of an Emacs frame and is turned off when I move the
mouse pointer inside an Emacs frame again.  I'm on GNU/Linux.
