Native Windows build doesn't support xterm-mouse, and the native mouse
clicks work correctly there.  If you have a recipe for the native
Windows build that shows incorrect menus popping down, please show
that.

Ah, xterm-mouse-mode.  AFAIR, no one has made TTY menus work with
xterm-mouse-mode.  The first thing to do is to disable tmm-menubar,
and then you need to cause a mouse click call menu-bar-open with the
2nd argument set to the X coordinate of the click.
