I've currently worked around this issue by punching a small hole at the registration point of the cursor movieclip. This allows the mouse click to pass through to whatever is directly underneath the cursor.
My theory is that the cursor movieclip is not a descendant of the application instance on the display list, so it is not using the Application context menu (I set the menu on the Application instance). Is there a "_root" equivalent where I can set the context menu? I know the stage cannot have a context menu applied, and I cant think of anything else. I'm going to go with this for now, but if anyone knows a better solution, please let me know.
