Thanks Christopher, I read that and was confused a bit by it. I hope
Jennifer won't mind me posting the code fragment she kindly emailed directly
to me - it solved the question directly and perhaps it might help others who
are searching for the same answer;

map.events.register("mousemove", map, function(e) {
  var pixel = new OpenLayers.Pixel(e.xy.x,e.xy.y);
  var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromPixel(pixel);
  var lonlatGCS =
OpenLayers.Layer.SphericalMercator.inverseMercator(lonlat.lon, lonlat.lat);

 ...
