This has come and gone quite a few times for me in VMware Fusion.  It seems that 
changing from windowed mode to fullscreen often resets it.  This is especially 
true for using the mouse to highlight in virtual terminals.  The mouse will be 
offset by about half the height of the terminal (but correct in the X position 
for width).

You may be seeing more of a problem though with the last few days due to xorg 
server update and brokenness in how input devices are configured.  Read over 
this bugzilla and just be aware it is a current problem.  This bug is mainly 
about keyboards though.

I do have input location problems for my mouse that is different from what I 
mentioned above that is recent with the last few days.  The vmware mouse 
location (where the click occurs) will be somewhat randomly positioned, while 
the actual mouse appears to be somewhere else.  Each click it appears to 
randomly relocate the effective position where it clicks.
