There was a small bug in the patch. I've attached a new version that hopefully fixes that.

Still no dice, sorry.  I just tried the patched version with the original example:

echo -n bar | xsel -i && \

  emacs -Q -eval \

  "(insert (propertize \"foo\" 'follow-link (lambda (pos) \"a\")))"

Now when I click foo nothing happens in the buffer, but there's an error message:

Function mouse--down-1-maybe-follows-link returns invalid key sequence

I can't think of a reason why though :(
