This isn't really a bug, this is an expected behaviour. It is hard to make Blender smart enough so that this works fine in all cases. Working fine in all cases would mean placing it for the user memorizable/predictable, while not overlapping any buttons/colliding with any Window borders etc. IMHO the current way we position them (horizontally aligned to the cursor, vertically aligned to the button) is quite okay, not perfect but okay. Simply disabling them within menus also wouldn't be a good idea since they still contain useful information, also for buttons within menus.

Anyway, even if we had the "perfect" design ready, this wouldn't be a bug as currently everything works as intended, we would consider it as a todo.

But thanks for the report nevertheless

Actually misinterpreted the report, can see now what you mean and indeed this shouldn't happen.

Fix incoming.
