Good question.

24.3 indeed does not go through down-mouse-2 (because the implementation is
based on a "normal" binding of down-mouse-1 rather than a key-remapping
of down-mouse-1).
So maybe you're right here.  Hmm...

Indeed things like imenu are better bound to down-mouse-2 than to mouse-2.

I'll sleep on it and try to remember to come back to it tomorrow,
