I noticed this after typing `M-x', thus activating the minibuffer, and
there typing C-down-mouse-3, popping up the confusing context menu seen
in the screen shots attached to my OP.  C-down-mouse-3 invokes
mouse-popup-menubar-stuff, which calls mouse-major-mode-menu, which
calls current-local-map.

I'm not sure what you mean by "passed as an argument" here.  I saw the
value of current-local-map that I posted when I stepped through
mouse-major-mode-menu with edebug.  I also got this value by doing the
following (is step 4 an instance of passing the map as an argument for
use in the minibuffer?):

1. emacs -Q
2. M-: (setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t) RET
3. M-x
4. M-: (current-local-map) RET
