I have occasionally wondered if they were fingerprinting users based on that mouse jitter. Most likely certain aspects of the mouse motion and timing would be unique.

No doubt they are. Google CAPTCHA isn't really about whether or not the user is a human but about which human they are. Enabling Firefox's fingerprinting resistance turns Google's CAPTCHA into the Allied Mastercomputer.
