I just play it as written, actually.

Well, you can't, can you? That's because the 64ths in the Mozart are just before a main beat, so the situation is different.
However, although I originally made no connection between the Kuffner and the Mozart -- instead just responding to Vanessa's introduction of the topic -- it now does strike me that what you suggest in your first example LOOKS very different to what is written. In fact, what is written looks much more like the Mozart.
Therefore, though I agree with the spirit of the first example, it would be very possible to play the triplet both faster and later, depending on the musical effect required. (The quavers, I think, need to remain unaltered, and be played as in the example.)
There is a little more to say -- to do with the connection between the ornament and the previous note: why do we assume it must be very legato? -- but I need to drive to Glyndebourne to hear the Faerie Queen dress rehearsal:-)
