This depends on the toolkit, as I already wrote in this thread.  (For
example, Motif doesn't let mouse-2 or mouse-3 activate the menu-bar
menu, AFAICS.)  It probably also depends on mouse bindings in the
window manager configuration files.  I don't think Emacs does anything
to bind mouse buttons on the menu bar.

On MS-Windows, the window manager invokes menu-bar actions only for
mouse-1.  So letting only that button activate the value menu in a
Customize buffer seems consistent to me.
