The primary problem there -- that middle-clicks weren't firing events when autoscroll triggered -- was clearly a bug that needed to be fixed.

Making autoscroll preventable at the same time was a mistake.  It doesn't match Firefox, it doesn't match our desired behavior here for middle-clicks, and it doesn't make a lot of sense in the abstract (we actively don't want web pages to be able to prevent autoscroll).
