That's funny, I had this happen last light and it surprised me. My reason
was that I finally got the cables I needed and brought all the computers
on the KVM to PS/2 instead of Serial....

Protocol "Intellimouse" w/ a Microsoft Intellimouse on /dev/psm0 did
exactly what you described above; however, switching protocol to "auto"
solved the problem for me..

4.1.1-RELEASE here.

Well, I'm seeing the same thing as you except it goes away when I change
protocol to auto as opposed to intellimouse protocol...
 
: Help? :(

Well, I doubt it's much help to you, but you're not alone on this issue.
Here I thought it was a little freak thing here, sometimes going through
KVMs that try to emulate things when they're missing can do weird things
like that, but it appears to not be the case..
