That definitely should be true. Can you show us a test case that triggers the incorrect behavior? Remember, you shouldn't be running an animation using this event handler until the event handler passes all of its test cases in isolation. My first guess was mismatched parentheses, so I copied and pasted your code into DrRacket, then inserted a bunch of newlines and tabs so I could spot mismatches by indentation. The result was clearer, but I didn't see any parenthesis problems. What I did notice is that one case doesn't obey the contract: it returns the wrong type.
