Here's a rather ugly workround:

In the situation where the mouse has already moved on before the
floater.marker.setLatLng() has completed, we get a "mouseout" event on
the original marker but no "mousover" on the floater. So we can send a
custom event from the original marker to the floater to ask if it is OK.

  GEvent.addListener(marker, "mouseout", function() {
    GEvent.trigger(floater.marker,"ruok");
  });

And in the floater, we can listen for that event and if the floater is
not OK it hides.

  floater.marker.imok = false;  // initial condition

  // If not OK when the original marker mouseouts, then hide.
  GEvent.addListener(floater.marker, 'ruok', function() {
    if (!floater.marker.imok) {
      floater.marker.hide();
      document.getElementById("sidebar-item-"
             +floater.id).style["backgroundColor"] = "";
    }
  });

  // If a mouseover occurs on the floater, then it is OK
  GEvent.addListener(floater.marker, 'mouseover', function() {
    floater.marker.imok = true;
     // sometimes things happen out of order,
    floater.marker.show();
    document.getElementById("sidebar-item-"
             +floater.id).style["backgroundColor"] = "#F7F268";
  });


And set floater.imok false when there's a real mouseout on the floater:

  /* ... with a mouseout event listener ... */
  GEvent.addListener(floater.marker, 'mouseout', function() {
    /* Hide the marker and clear the sidebar highlight */
    floater.marker.hide();
    document.getElementById("sidebar-item-"
             +floater.id).style["backgroundColor"] = "";
    floater.marker.imok = false;
  });
