OK, in that case the text is correct. But it could easily be misread by some
users. It would be clearer to state this explicitly: "If
`mouse-autoselect-window' is nil and `mouse-autoselect-window' is non-nil, then
move the mouse pointer to FRAME."

And it wouldn't hurt to state this explicitly also:
"Otherwise, do not move the mouse pointer."

Hopefully, someone else does. ;-)
