Thanks a lot for the report, @DaveHuman! I can reproduce the behavior, but this is not an issue with Blender or Geometry Nodes, but with the Node Wrangler add-on that adds the functionality to connect node sockets with Alt + Shift + RMB. The issue is also present with all nodes that have hidden sockets depending on the mode.

I can't change the title or the tags to reflect the that this is an issue with an add-on rather than Blender itself, so I leave confirming to one of the moderators.

@wannes.malfait It seems like this was accidentally introduced in blender/blender-addons@26c4357e0b.
I think the fix is a just a one liner fixing an indentation. The index in line 4417 (4409 in the commit) has to be incremented, even if the socket is not enabled so the index matches the actual socket that is shown in the menu:

Thanks for the feedback. I have changed the title to reflect that Node Wrangler is the issue, and I've removed the 'Geometry Nodes' tag. Hope this is OK.
