Looking at boincmgr's code didn't give a hint for this bug, therefore I built 
boinc wiht wxwidgets2.8 from experimental today to see if this is probably a 
wxwidgets bug, and indeed it seems so. If boincmgr is built with 
wxwidgets2.8, scrolling is possible with the mouse wheel even if the mouse 
pointer is not over the scroll bar.

So we are now waiting for wxwidgets2.8 to enter unstable.

Cheers,
