Thanks to all for the replies, especially Geoff's clear example. That explains why I could not duplicate the bug I was chasing while in debug mode, since clicking any of the debug icons when on the wait command generated the usual mouse messages.
However, I still don't understand why the "wait 0 with messages" command caused the rest of the statements in my script to be ignored. There was no other user interaction going on at the time so there should not have been any messages being fired. Even if there were, shouldn't control have passed back to my script after the message had been processed? I suppose a "send in time" command could have triggered but I don't think I have any of those in this application.
