Thanks for a clear report.  Presumably removing and replugging the
mouse doesn't help.  Does unloading and reloading the USB driver
("modprobe -r ehci_hcd && modprobe ehci_hcd") have any effect?

Did these machines always behave this way, or is this a regression?
Is the 2.6.32.y kernel from squeeze also affected?

(For my own reference: kernel log at [1].)
