Query_log_event() can already store microseconds, see Q_HRNOW flag.
So better to add them to Rows_log_event, if needed.

But I don't quite understand why it's needed.

What you see - microseconds from the system time and seconds from the
binlog event - is a workaround for replicating non-versioned master to
versioned slave, where binlog events don't have microseconds.

In your case versioned-to-versioned RBR, row events should have
microsecond-exact timestamps already, you can get them from there.

Only Delete_rows_log_event might not have the actual timestamp(6),
but this can be fixed on the master, I suspect.
