That's odd.  'set mouse=' worked fine for me as an in-session fix and my
long-term fix was to create a file at /etc/vim/vimrc.local containing:

--- cut here ---
" Don't silently ignore these settings in favor of those in default.vim
let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1

" Middle-mouse should paste from system clipboard, NOT vim clipboard!
set mouse=
--- cut here ---

Guess I never tried it in my own .vimrc, though, so perhaps default.vim
is overriding that, then, in addition to vimrc.local.
