| Very interesting. I tried iPhoto just now myself and I can't figure out how to address the contextual menu itself. I'm experiencing the exact same thing you are. I found an old thread from 2006 on this subject in which Bill Cheesman writes about these mismatches:
There may be no way to do what you want, but I'm going to play with it a bit.

<AXApplication: “iPhoto”> <AXWindow: “iPhoto”> <AXGroup> <AXSplitGroup> <AXSplitGroup> <AXScrollArea> <AXOutline> <AXMenu> <AXMenuItem: “Sort Albums”>
The thing is I can't get it to actually click the "Sort Albums" menu item! How do I reference the context menu object brought up by performing the action "AXShowMenu"? I'm thinking I need to do something similar to clicking a regular menu item and inserting this line in the inner tell block based on the above information from UI inspector:
click menu item "Sort Albums" of menu 1
But this doesn't work. AppleScript can't get "menu 1"
