You mean "If the mouse is inside any frame, I cannot reproduce what
you describe"?

I tried it again with "GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of
2004-03-10 on NYAUMO", started with `runemacs -q' [1], and pressing
SPC in ediff-mode always moves the mouse back to the little ediff
frame, no matter if the mouse is over an Emacs frame or an underlying
Thunderbird frame or the ediff frame.

(Another question: Why are you interested in the mouse pointer jumps?
Do you suspect a bug somewhere? I ask because I am much more
interested in getting rid of the tooltips and I can't see where
exactly you are trying to get.)

Footnotes:
[1] I need to load site-start.el because that is where I tell Emacs
    where the Cygwin binaries (i.e., diff) are -- there is definitely
    no mouse-stuff in my site-start.el
