Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing background context-menu entry on Windows 10 with Windows Terminal 1.7.1033.0, comparing it with the folder context-menu behavior described in the issue. Trace the Windows Explorer integration entry point and verify completion when Open in Windows Terminal appears for a folder background as well as for folders.
