No this is the right message.
The problem is that only the client knows "when the mouse hits an output
corner" (or more accurately, the client is the only one that knows "the
mouse is not pointing at something of mine that should do something
other than a shell effect"). Therefore any "effect when the mouse hits
an output corner" must not happen until the client confirms that the
mouse at this location will cause this effect. As far as I can tell the
"mouse moved binding handler" is part of the enter/exit code in the
compositor, which is before client communication, this is wrong.
