Not sure why that is.  Maybe some code somewhere catches the click, does
some processing and pushes events back on unread-command-events, so the
real code is only run on the second round?

AFAIK it's last-nonmenu-event.

It should go somewhere, I agree.  I tend to think that
call-interactively should use a table mapping letters to Elisp code, so
it'd be easy to see which code corresponds to while letter.
