Thanks for the report !

You're right. But I can't use `select-frame-set-input-focus' because it
might move the mouse pointer as well. Could you try with the following
substitute?
(when mouse-autoselect-window
;; Run `mouse-leave-buffer-hook' when autoselecting window.
(run-hooks 'mouse-leave-buffer-hook)
(unless focus-follows-mouse
;; Make sure frame is raised and selected when autoselecting
;; window and we assume that the window manager does not
;; autoraise the frame of window.
(select-frame frame)
(raise-frame frame)
;; Ensure, if possible, that frame gets input focus.
(cond ((memq window-system '(x mac))
(x-focus-frame frame))
((eq window-system 'w32)
(w32-focus-frame frame)))))

We could make raising optional, BTW. You could check whether you like
it better by removing the `raise-frame' line above.

Agreed.

With `mouse-autoselect-window' t or a number?
