Note that the behavior you describe comes from code in Evil. The way
undo steps are divided in non-Evil Emacs is different (mostly, finer
grained).
More specifically, I believe that if you perform the `undo` *before* you
finish your insertion (i.e. before hitting ESC), you should get (more or
less) the behavior you want, i.e. the cursor jump due to your mouse
event will indeed have ended an undo sequence. Evil then collapses
those undo steps into a single one when you leave insertion mode.
In any case, maybe setting `evil-want-fine-undo` will also do the trick.
