Since emacs famously keeps the point onscreen come-hell-or-high-water, that doesn't help for larger-than-screen. That is pretty similar behaviour to X11 emacs 22.3 with t-m-m off, mind! And x11 emacs 22.3 also deactivates when transient-mark-mode is on and you c-spc then mouse-1 in my testing, so maybe this was some NS-specific adjustment that's been lost?
