This happens to me, I have just gotten so used to the error message
about psm0 I have never gotten around to reporting it - since as you
say once you do that it all works fine. 
It's clearly a bug, or at the very least an un-neccesary error message.
I can only assume there is some side-effect from enabling moused that
causes the USB mouse to start working.

If there is not a PR about it I will submit one.
