    But my question isn't really how to fix the behavior, it is whether
    Emacs should be enabling mouse-1-click-follows-link in dired mode by
    default?

Yes, definitely.  It is a big improvement in compatibility
with other apps.  We can try to do something for the sake of your
problem, but turning this off would be throwing out the baby with the
bathwater.
