It's the first row/column after the mouse has crossed the window border.
Try by yourself: Take two windows of fixed size one above the other and
move the mouse between them. The cddrs of autoselect-window-position
calculated by autoselect-window-start should differ by one no matter
where mouse movement started or ended. In any case `window-at' for
autoselect-window-position should always return the window you move to.

If you move from the lower window to the upper window and stop movement
exactly at the mode line of the upper window (that is, if you move the
mouse by a few pixels only) it can be true.

Hopefully. In my experience, the timeout before the last can be
annoying too. Sometimes I'm just off by one character.

OK, I moved everything back to mouse.el and added a customizable
variable `mouse-autoselect-quiescent'. Using a number as value for that
variable checks whether movement was restricted to that many chars
around the last position. This leaves future users a number of choices.

That would be ugly.

I think that `mouse-position' does the best it can. Mice are
unpredictable ...
