I have also had this problem.
I have VNC 3.3.3r2 on Solaris 8 running the server half and VNC 3.3.3r7 on
WIN2K running the viewer.
I retrieved the previous versions from the VNC site and still have the same
problem.
I retrieved VNC 3.3.2r2 from an old backup and ran a server instance on my
Solaris box; still VNC 3.3.3r7 viewer on WIN2K.
This does not have the right mouse problem.
Therefore, the problem appears to have been introduced in the VNC server
after 3.3.2r2.
Here is a difference:
xmodmap -pp # prints the current pointer map
There are 3 buttons in VNC 3.3.2r2; there are 5 buttons in 3.3.3r1 and r2.
I don't know if this is what is causing the problem or not.
I searched the VNC mailing list archive and found some discussion of this
issue in 2000/06 and 2000/10 but no resolution.

You may also try writing to the folks at AT&T to see if they have a
work-around...
