Ah, ok.  And then Vth_event_buffer_idx also needs to be a Lisp integer.
So I tried this:

I guess that naive approach won't work because make_lispy_event is not
free of side-effects.  It actually modifies the event so calling it
twice per event has negative consequences.

Well, I now try following Michaels suggesting of reverting this one
commit about `unread-command-events'.
