It does happen.

And if I ctrl-click mouse-1 when the menu if open, minibuffer says
"<C-drag-mouse-1> is undefined", so looks like doing mouse-1 click when
the menu is open is registered as drag-mouse-1 event.
(I tried it in Ubuntu on an older Emacs 24 build, and that didn't happen
either).

In GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2012-07-06.
