I think I may have been having the same problem that others have been noticing with the shift-rightclick menu, but mine seems a little different. It sounds like you've been having trouble resolving this, so I'll try to be very exact.
When I hold shift and press RMB, the menu comes up. That part works fine.
When at any time the shift button is pressed or held down and the cursor is over the menu, the menu disappears. That means that if I do what I'd normally do--press and release the RMB but keep shift held down--the menu appears to disappear immediately, since the first thing I do is move the cursor onto the menu. I can delay this, though, if instead I move the cursor away from the menu. If I release shift before moving the mouse onto the menu, the menu works fine, BUT if at any time I re-press shift while the cursor is on the menu, or otherwise cause both to be the case at the same time, the menu disappears.
The same, actually, is also true of the Ctrl key. The Alt key does not cause this.
And finally (here's where it gets really strange) if at any time I expand a submenu of that menu (such as the Refactor menu) then the shift key stops having the power to close the menu, at least until the context menu is closed completely. The Alt key also stops other modifier keys from closing the menu.
I hope this is some help. Now that I know how to avoid this happening (release shift before touching the menu) I can make it work, but I still never get it right on the first try.

I am seeing something similar using VS2005 and VA 1555, probably close enough to be the same problem. Thank you for the very clear description!
For me the position of the mouse on the screen seems to be a factor. Sometimes the menu opens correctly, sometimes it closes after about half a second even though I have not moved the mouse, and on one occasion the selected item was randomly jumping around. Most strange.
