How about simply wrapping those calls in
internal_catch_all/internal_condition_case?

What happens here is that Emacs is reading input through GTK, either
inside xg_select or the read_socket_hook.  GTK then detects some mouse
motion and calls the motion event handler for the frame's widget, which
in turn calls note_mouse_movement.
