And, as you point out, the manual says:

   (1) Some systems use `Mouse-3' for a mode-specific menu.  We took a
survey of users, and found they preferred to keep `Mouse-3' for
selecting and killing regions.  Hence the decision to use `C-Mouse-3'
for this menu.  To use `Mouse-3' instead, do `(global-set-key [mouse-3]
'mouse-popup-menubar-stuff)'.

I assume that we're not asking people to bind mouse-3 to
(mouse-menu-major-mode-map)?
