Only from pointerdown onwards can the compatibility mouse events be suppressed (which seems half-hearted to me, but perhaps there is some rationale that I'm missing). Also, some of my confusion seems to stem from the fact that "dispatch" is used in UK english mostly to mean "send", rather than the meaning of "eliminate/suppress" which seems more common in US english http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/dispatch Which is why the sentence "Varies: when the pointer is primary, all default actions of the mousedown event plus dispatch of compatibility mouse events" in the default action column for pointerdown in https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/pointerevents/raw-file/tip/pointerEvents.html#list-of-pointer-events made matters even more obscure.
