Very good debugging work, Gary. I've also played around with the example and came to a rather more dirty workaround. When you set a global boolean - let's call it 'opened' - to true as long as an infowindow is open you can avoid firing a new mouseover event until 'opened' is set to false.
But both your workaround and my dirty workaround aren't able to prevent that the mouse cursor will change to the 'pointer' cursor when hovering over a marker icon underneath the opened infobox (in the original example). I'd guess is that this is caused by the huge library[1] 'handlebars. 1.0.0.beta.3.js' which is - in my eyes - absolutely redundant. [1] Because this doesn't happen in the bug report example http://www.luxcentral.com/bug/infowindow-bug.html even when applying a workaround.
