I can replicate the problem you describe, however, I'm not convinced that it's a problem. If memory serves, in earlier versions of MM, the Now Playing node always behaved as the Now Playing window does today (i.e. the double-click action was ignored and whenever the user clicked a track MM would just switch and play the selected portion of the Now Playing list). However, some users wanted more control and were confused by the change in double-click behaviour from one node to another. So then we made the Now Playing node behave consistently with other nodes and that's why MM behaves the way it does today.

Rusty the problem with your solution is that Now Playing NODE behaves as a regualer node, but when you right click you only get PLAY NOW and no option for play next, play last.
If your going to mimic the behavior a regular node, then the context menu should be the same IMO.
In any case, I think there should be a FOURTH option for the now playing window and node...
The forth being 'switch to this track now' (without changing any track's position within the playlist), which is the current behavior of the now playing WINDOW.
Regardless, IMO double clicking should be consistent across all application windows/nodes.
