I dont experience that. Perhaps you pressed tab once beforehand to focus the menu?

ah, yes, but since there's no focus indicator it's not obvious

Looks like it has a focus indicator to me, although I can see why it might be confusing: https://imgur.com/a/Mc6A7Dn

Yeah, I guess I pressed tab right away and thought it was the design of the button.

I think it's better to keep the focus style as the default outline, and uniform.
