The form I solve it is adding the MousePosition Control:
new OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition();
on map controls.

Then I register the layer with the line for featureselected event
and in the featureselected function I use:

var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromPixel(map.getControlsByClass("OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition")[0].lastXy);

If the feature that dispatch the event is an Linestring
feature.geometry['CLASS_NAME']=="OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString"
I show the popup in the latlon variable.
