Ok, I can confirm that this is related to "new_buffer_with_opener_position = buffer_position_end;". When I set "new_buffer_with_opener_position = buffer_position_end;", then the mouse-scrolling with respect to tabs is the old behaviour (i.e. works as expected).
Interestingly, the problem seems to be specific to buffers with openers. As long as ever buffer I create has no "opener" then the mouse-scrolling works fine. As soon as I open a buffer "with an opener" then the mouse-scrolling becomes weird. (When the "buffer with an opener" buffer itself is active, no mouse-wheel scrolling is possible; when other buffers are active, then the "buffer with an opener" buffer seems to act as a "block" beyond which I can't mouse-wheel-scroll.)
