That's kmacro-call-mouse-event.

From kmacro.el:

;;; Provide some binding for startup:
;;;###autoload (global-set-key "\C-x(" #'kmacro-start-macro)
;;;###autoload (global-set-key "\C-x)" #'kmacro-end-macro)
;;;###autoload (global-set-key "\C-xe" #'kmacro-end-and-call-macro)
;;;###autoload (global-set-key [f3] #'kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter)
;;;###autoload (global-set-key [f4] #'kmacro-end-or-call-macro)
;;;###autoload (global-set-key "\C-x\C-k" #'kmacro-keymap)

They are all commented out (only to be put in loaddefs.el), so they
should not be executed when kmacro is loaded.

Maybe try make bootstrap?
