Yes those input problems are strange and important. And actually, apart
from the pixman bug (fixed now), and some ati driver specific problems,
most of the remaining bugs reported since the upload of Xserver 1.4 are
input related so we really need to care quickly about them. Some of them
could be related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12145
which does not look nice since it might involve a lot of drivers...
Could you try rebuilding current upstream mouse driver head? or just
apply the following commit to the debian package
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-input-mouse.git;a=commitdiff;h=f42ea3027c13046dfa7a603737b476fbf2833764;hp=53bdd4db01f05595beb37e68842118eb649308d3
