You're right, this is buggy behavior.  We have it fixed, but it wasn't
included in the release.  (It had to do with waiting for a separate
Self process that was in charge of getting X events--that process blocks
while waiting to receive the next X event, and wouldn't cede control over
to the cursor until it woke up by receiving some X event; in this case,
a cursor motion event generated by the extra mouse jiggle.)
