An alternative implementation which may fix the problem could look like:

After the first click, start a timer waiting for double-click-time and
add a pre-command-hook.  The timer just runs the mouse-2 binding.
The pre-command-hook will cancel the timer and depending on whether the
triggering event is a double-click or not, it will run the mouse-2 binding.

This way you avoid the problematic sit-for.  But it's pretty nasty code in
any case.
