This probably has to do with the new system of auto configuring input devices 
(hal, xorg auto devices, managed evdev), just like the keyboard problems in the 
list at present.  There is a bug re vmware mouse misbehavior [1] and keyboards 
[2] that are related.  You could confirm that adding Option "NoAutoAddDevices" 
to your xorg.conf ServerFlags also fixes the problem (while not forcing 
set_mouse 0).
