The only calls to xsignal0 I see in window_scroll (or, rather, in its
subroutines) is to signal Qbeginning_of_buffer or Qend_of_buffer.

Indeed. Perhaps we need some infrastructure to ignore errors in this
case (I assume `ignore-errors' won't help). Or maybe we should allow
not to discard input when we signal an error. Or maybe discard-input
should be smarter, and not discard partial escape sequences?

You could put a breakpoint in Fsignal, and see if the problems with
mouse-clicking within buffers is also caused by signaling an error.
