Because unblock_input can call process_pending_signals, and in doing so
handle_async_input, which calls gobble_input (and thus the
read_socket_hook.) As a result, it is not safe for any read_socket_hook
to signal as long as it is not ok for unblock_input to signal as well.

It doesn't, see how w32_note_mouse_movement is called from
w32_read_socket.

The problem is note_mouse_highlight is simply not supposed to signal.
It is a function called directly while handling async input as far back
as Emacs 19, much like expose_frame. (IIRC back then there was a
slightly different implementation in each of the *term.c files.)
Moving note_mouse_highlight out of handle_one_xevent would lead to other
bugs, since mouse movement must be processed in order wrt to other X
events. For example, if an XI_Motion event arrives and is queued, and
then a subsequent XI_Leave event arrives before that event has a chance
to be processed ``in our own safe context'', note_mouse_highlight will
be called after the mouse has left the frame, leading to stuck mouse
highlight.
