It might depend on what action the long-press is going to trigger. For 
long-press to show a mobile-friendly grid-based context menu, it might 
be nice to be able to long-press, slide your finger over to the item you 
want to select, then release it. In this case, the release would trigger 
the item under the finger, if any.

I continue to believe that long-click almost never makes sense when 
using a pointing device, though. :)
