Having a context menu on a button is a little odd; if we took this
approach, I'd be happier having a context menu available *wherever* I
right-clicked in the dialog, which included this menu item. I'd even be
tempted to break the HIG guideline and show the Ctrl-L shortcut on any
such context menu, given that there's no other way to find out about it.
Of course, most users would still never think of right-clicking in a
file dialog anyway, but I guess the idea is that the Location dialog
should only be needed by "advanced" users once the type-ahead etc. is
working well.

Hmm, double-clicking buttons is a bit iffy, I think.
Cheeri,
