Short description of error
When selecting with mouse clicks the selection mode in the header determines which component is selected.
In Grease Pencil sculpt mode this behaves as expected. If it's set to "points", selecting will select points. If it's set to "stroke" it will select entire strokes.

When switching to vertex paint mode this is not the case. Instead it will select components based on the selection mode that is set in sculpt mode.

The ideal behavior imo would be to have all grease pencil modes share the active selection mode.
This makes it easier to manage and simpler to use.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Change the keymap preferences to right click select (Selection shortcuts in left click select are partially broken atm)
Add a Gpencil Monkey
Switch to Sculpt Mode
Enable point selection mode
Select some points with RMB and Shift RMB
Switch to Vertex Paint mode
Make sure to use stroke selection mode
Select some strokes with RMB and Shift RMB (Notice how it will instead select points)
