Interestingly enough, I don't see show_mouse_face being called when the
cursor moves within the highlighted area; I only see it called when the
highlight itself changes, such as when the mouse pointer moves into the
mouse face.

Let me know if you need any more information from me to debugging this;
I will probably be unable to debug this myself for the next day or two.

Thanks!
