Right.  The X server only informs the client of mouse movements when the 
hardware cursor *visibly* moves.

Remember that the XWFS driver is nothing but a normal X window.  We just 
change the screen resolution and make the window fill up the whole of 
the screen.  To the X server it's nothing special, so it doesn't get any 
special treatment with regards to mouse events.
