The fact that putty is sending anything at all when you scroll outside the window sounds like a putty bug.
It's obviously sending something tmux doesn't understand, probably because it's too big for standard mouse reporting and you are using an old version of tmux where the range is smaller, or you need to enable UTF-8 mouse mode.
