Currently we use it to filter commands in `M-x', where you anyways can't
use it (it will signal an error as EVENT is not bound).  So this change
doesn't break anything.  What am I missing?

If the above is correct, then that also means that there is no point to
show such commands even in `finder-mode'.  So it would be even better to
add some form that marks a command as only relevant to the mouse and
then never show those commands in `M-x'.  ISTR we discussed something
like that but I'm not sure if we reached any conclusion.
