Hi, Chipp,  
> Sure you don't have it turned around?
Here is a quick run down of the messages I see on OSX 10.4.2/2.6.1
4 sequences of mousing around.  Confusing to me.

Your test stack (ButtonHiliteBug.rev), two buttons top (grouped) and bottom
--test 1-------------------------------------
only the bott button id 1036, in pointer mode
mouseEnter --1036
mouseLeave
mouseEnter --1036
mouseLeave
-- test 2-------------------------------------
only the TOP button id 1035, in pointer mode
focusIn
mouseEnter --1035
mouseLeave
focusIn
mouseEnter --1035
mouseLeave
focusIn
mouseEnter --1035
mouseLeave
-- test 3-------------------------------------
only the TOP button, browse mode
focusIn
mouseEnter --1035
--
focusOut
focusIn
mouseRelease --1035
--
mouseEnter --1035
--
mouseLeave
focusOut
focusIn
--
mouseEnter --1035
--
mouseLeave
focusOut
focusIn
-- test 4-------------------------------------
move between bott then top, repeating
focusIn
mouseEnter --bott 1036
--
mouseLeave --bott 1036
--
focusIn
mouseEnter --top 1035
--
focusOut --btn 1035
focusIn  --not sure why, focusIn btn 1035 = top
mouseRelease --top  1035..yep, release
--
focusOut
focusIn
mouseLeave --top 1035
mouseEnter --bott 1036
--
mouseLeave --bott  yep, no focusOut, but hilite gone
--
focusIn
mouseEnter --top 1035
--
focusOut
focusIn
mouseRelease --top 1035..yep, release

Somewhat confusing to me, but this is not my bailiwick

Hope this helps.
