I think the emulator is correct, albeit weird. Qemu provides a tablet
virtual device (so you don't get two mouse pointers and can enter/leave
the VM window freely), and it works well with Ubuntu and Windows. And it
sounds like it worked well with Mir till recently.

The solution is not to modify the emulator, because the emulator is
correctly designed to emulate a tablet. Much like that of a stylus-based
tablet where the mouse cursor does follow your hovers if you're close
enough, or you can jump to a new location. This is a mature established
feature of Qemu that's been there for many years. So let's just fix
Mir/libinput.
