Is it possible that your tracking rects overlapped?  That may explain
the difference in the order of events if for each two rects, there was
an intersection of a 1-pixel wide strip.

Did you also see the problem when moving the mouse up and down?

When computing the tracking rects, try insetting them a bit as a test
and see if the problem still exists.
