Maybe you've seen it with yet-older code, such as the one in the
emacs-26 branch (in that code, the mouse-1 => mouse-2 remapping was done
elsewhere (i.e. as part of the processing of down-mouse-1) so
read_key_sequence never even saw the mouse-1 event to put it into the
raw_keybuf)?

Yet the second hunk below does fix this problem (the first hunk fixes
the same problem but for C-h l, and the third just removes code which
does something wrong, and I have no idea why the code was there in the
first place).
