So on a whim I built a new kernel commenting out these lines:

#options        EVDEV_SUPPORT           # evdev support in legacy drivers
#device         evdev                   # input event device support
#device         uinput                  # install /dev/uinput cdev

Which also necessitated commenting out the following in /etc/rc.conf:

#kld_list="/boot/modules/drm.ko /boot/modules/i915kms.ko"

And after rebooting all the issues I mentioned above went away.
So I guess I have an evdev problem.  But I still don't know what
to do about it.
