What happens if you additionally select the frame in
`handle-select-window'?  Like

        (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 when autoselecting window and
            ;; we assume that the window manager does not autoraise the
            ;; frame of window.
            (select-frame (window-frame window))
            (raise-frame (window-frame window))))

No.

Before `handle-select-window' gets executed the event reader schedules a
`handle-switch-frame' event which selects that frame and the previously
selected window of that frame.  I'm not yet sure how to "handle" that :-(
