Can you mark text with the mouse?  Does the bug happen only when the
entire frame is positioned to the right of 3840 or do you see it with
a frame starting before 3840 but extending to the right of the display
as well?

If you want to debug mouse clicks it should suffice to set a break
point with gdb at the top of the body below the lines

    case ButtonRelease:
    case ButtonPress:

of xterm.c (in Emacs 25 they are at line 8499 here) and look whether
it triggers.  If it triggers, then the call of x_window_to_frame in

        f = (x_mouse_grabbed (dpyinfo) ? dpyinfo->last_mouse_frame
	     : x_window_to_frame (dpyinfo, event->xbutton.window));

should give us some preliminary information.
