Comment:

 So all the classes are added in `_wp_menu_item_classes_by_context()` which
 is called [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/nav-
 menu-template.php#L198 on line 198 of nav-menu-template.php].  The filter
 you're talking about using is on line 206, which means that in that loop
 I'd need to unset all the previous classes ('current-menu-item', 'current-
 menu-ancestor', 'current-menu-parent', etc), find the item to select, pull
 it's parents, loop through them, and re-assign proper classes.

 Basically, I'd need to create a slightly modified version of
 `_wp_menu_item_classes_by_context()` (which is about 200 lines) and use
 it.

 Having said all that, I no longer work with the publishers that I used to,
 and haven't run across the need for this in probably 18 months.  I think
 it's one of those things that felt common at the time and is actually edge
 case.  Closing as wontfix.
