Has the bug with this variable losing its value ('event::handler) been
found/fixed?

It's somewhat annoying to have your mouse stop doing for you the
things you've become accustomed to.

Thanks,
 Hamish.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. What happens is if that if there is an
error during the X event process, the handler is reset to prevent
runaway conditions. If you're willing to accept that risk*, then you
can do:

(setq epoch::event-handler-abort nil)

in your startup file.

* If you're not actively developing your own event handler code, the
risk is a very small one.
