That's expected.  But it is still a problem.

Can you explain the rationale for the change in 8230a47?  I've read
the commit log, but I still don't get it: what exactly is the problem
with running the mouse-leave-buffer-hook in that case?  Also, are
there other reasons for that change?  It was committed together with a
change in isearch.el, so is that related in some way?
