Here is one reason:

- Move the mouse cursor over some text with a mouse face.
- Mouse face activates.
- Mouse face has a smaller font, so the text shrinks in size.
- The text is no longer under the mouse cursor.
- Mouse face should not be active.
- ????

I have added a note to the Lisp manual that the mouse-face can't be used
to change the text size.
