Not sure I understand correctly:

we are talking about this entry in the keymap, right?

this is meant for this tool:

using that tool works just fine here with the key specified (LMB by default)

does this not work for you?

Up to version 3.8, one could use Weight Paint Sample Group without switching tools, by simply pressing Shift+RMB (default) while in weight paint mode, e.g. with the paint or smooth brush enabled.
Now in 4.0 this just places the 3D cursor at the targeted point. Wish there was a way to restore the old behavior, not having to manually switch tools every time I want to pick a vertex group (Just like Shift+Ctrl+X is still doing right now, but mouse bound).

Screenshot: usage from at least 2.8 to 3.8

Edit: apparently there are two entries for this keymap, one for "Weight Paint" and one for "3D View Tool... vertex group"
It seems I have to change the former, not the latter? Testing now.
Edit 2: Changing the first binding (and 3D cursor move binding) I was able to restore the old functionality. Issue solved!
