I think this is a bug in xterm-mouse-mode: IIRC (though this may be very
inaccurate) xterm sends an escape sequence both for a mouse button being
pressed and for one being released.

On X Windows, moving the scroll wheel will result in both a ButtonPress
and a ButtonRelease event for the appropriate scroll wheel button.

But I'm by no means an xterm expert, so this may very well be wrong.
