Hmm... I reduced it to

    src/emacs -Q --eval '(info "(elisp)Numbers")'
    Click mouse-1 on the "Up" link on the header-line
    
and I fixed the "obvious" problem (see patch below), but now that just
gives me:

   <header-line> <mouse-2> is undefined

instead of

   <header-line> <header-line> <mouse-2> is undefined

So now the event-rewrite gives the expected result (i.e. "<header-line>
<mouse-2>"), but for some reason it decides it's unbound even tho it
clearly is.  IOW it seems to be looking in the wrong keymap(s).
