Since mouseleave and mouseenter events are non-standard you can get such lags here and there. The only method I can suggest to fix that is using some hacks. Here is http://jsfiddle.net/mPDcu/1/ improved version of you code.

var selectOpened = false;
$('#select-grind-type').click(function(e){
    selectOpened = !selectOpened;
    e.stopPropagation();
});
$('body').click(function(){
    if (selectOpened) {
        selectOpened = false;
    }
})
$('#parent-container').on("mouseenter", function() {
    var $this = $(this),
        $selectOptionsContainer = $this.find('#child-container');
    $selectOptionsContainer.stop().fadeTo('slow', 1.0);
}).live("mouseleave", function(e) {
    if (!selectOpened) {
        var $this = $(this),
            $selectOptionsContainer = $this.find('#child-container');
        $selectOptionsContainer.stop().hide();   
    }
});
