How about option D: three hours is way too early to start getting worried about whether anyone's going to answer your question.

Anyway, I seem to be able to reproduce the issue you're seeing. And I'd agree that it seems to be wrong. Upon finding the top-level ContextMenuStrip instance in which your menu item is contained, the SourceControl property should, IMHO, _always_ tell you the name of the control used to show the menu. But for me, just as you said, I find the property is set to null when handling the Click event of a menu item that's not a top-level item.

Seems like a bug to me. I suppose it might not be, but I'd have to see a really good explanation for the behavior for me to believe that. You may at this point simply need to consider finding a work-around and report the bug to Microsoft in the hopes of getting it fixed.
