[Bug 24923] What should happen to the mouse events if pointer event listener removes the target from document or hides it?

Rick: Yes, the same issue would occur if the element was removed during a
mousemove, but that's not going to be nearly as common. Elements will generally
be removed at the end of an interaction sequence (during the release of the
button). Developers quickly understand if you say that removing an element in
the middle of an interaction is going to break something, but it's harder to
explain if it occurs after they've finished the interaction.

Regarding firing of fake mousemove events when the DOM changes, here's a test
page I created a year ago:
http://dev-test.nemikor.com/behavior/mouseover-when-element-is-shown.html. I
discussed this with Jacob and Olli back then, but if we're going to address it
at this level, I think we should try to get this into the mouse events spec.
