Not sure why, but it looks like this is by design.  The comment in
xterm.c and w32term.c says:

	    /* If mouse was grabbed on a frame, give coords for that frame
	       even if the mouse is now outside it.  */

If this is only about the case when the drag ends outside of any Emacs
frame, then we could amend the code to cover the case that the drag
ends on an Emacs frame.  The current code doesn't check whether we the
button-up event was received in an Emacs frame.
