IMO, when mouse-3 is clocked on a misspelled word, it makes much more
sense to assume the user wants to fix that word than that the user
wants to paste.

But here's an idea: how about merging the two menus into one in these
cases?  We could add a top-level menu with the two alternatives, each
one would then drop down one of the two possible menus.
Alternatively, just make a long menu by concatenating the contents of
the two original ones.

WDYT?
