Actually I think its an artifact from both moused & the X server
having /dev/mousedev open at the same time. This is only
fixable by either killing moused when running X, or have
moused track the shown vty, and open/close /dev/mousedev according
to that.
I'd prefer the moused solution, but I'm not sure what sideeffects
it might have...
