This is a keyboard macro and the "extra info" (the `posn`) associated
with the `down-mouse-3` will not be passed on to the `context-menu`
event, so that's probably why it "does nothing".

Maybe something like

    (global-set-key [down-mouse-3]
      (lambda (event)
        (interactive "e")
        (execute-kbd-macro (vector `(context-menu . ,(cdr event))))))

??
