I have seen the same thing on Linux-kubuntu (32 bit) and on Scientific
Linux (64 bit) (and on Cygwin 32 bit).

After moving the wheel (when the pointer is on the 'X' icon of the
toolbar) and the buffer is killed, I observe in the minibuffer:

   tool-bar kill-buffer

i.e. the same thing that happens when I kill the buffer clicking with
MOUSE-1 on that icon.

In other words, it seems that moving the wheel on that icon has the same
result of clicking with MOUSE-1 on it.

Regarding this point, after moving the wheel, C-h l (the lowercase of L),
I have an help buffer:

but I am not sure that what you mean is what I have understood.
