The logic behind my request is the presumption that the selection made has already been done with intent, that the user does _not_ want to alter the extent of the selection with the context menu. > > Granted, as with all things UI, this is subjective.

I'll wait for others to chime in and voice their opinions, but for now I'm not convinced we should do what you propose. The current menu is not too large, and the advantage of showing those other menu items is that the users could easily change their minds about what they intended to do, without locking themselves up to using the existing selection. More choices is not a disadvantage, in general, as long as there aren't too many of them.
