I think it's (partly?) because your beagle
synthesize-pointer-motion-event method is not specialized; in
addition, I was misleading or insufficiently specific in my
description.  The failure mode I was seeing was that an attempt to use
a CLX-backend menu would give an error message about no applicable
methods for synthesize-pointer-motion-event given a STANDARD-POINTER.

Thanks,
