wp_nav_menu() mark current item ancestor of custom post type

Question

This solution does almost what I want it to.

Only thing is, I have my menu set up as follows:

Menu item 1
Menu item 2
   Custom post type 1
   Custom post type 2
   Custom post type 3
Menu item 3

Using the solution I mention adds the tag "current_url" to the sub menu of the custom post type I'm in ("Custom post type 1"). But I want it to add a "current_menu_item" (or something) to "Menu item 2".

Any way to do this?

WordPress handles this by adding the current_page_ancestor and/or current_page_parent class to the parent item. Try styling those classes similar to current_menu_item.
