If it's not clear to just not answer my questions, then yes.

This is one of the things it does, yes.

Ok. You've finally answered my question.

As I said, I know what it is. I have one I use for a portable ps/2
keyboard. Testing a real USB mouse now works fine. I'll go drag my
adaptor out and test it.

Mine is just labelled "USB-PS/2". The keyboard works on it, but
plugging in a logitech 3 button mouse gives me;

  ukbd0: MCT Corp. PS/2 - USB Interface Adaptor, rev 1.10/1.03, addr 2,
   iclass 3/1 uhci_device_intr_transfer: not done, ii=0xc3c17020
  kbd1 at ukbd0
  ums0: MCT Corp. PS/2 - USB Interface Adaptor, rev 1.10/1.03, addr 2,
   iclass 3/1
  ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.

The light on the adaptor flashes when I move the mouse or press
buttons, but indeed, I get no input. So yes, it looks like there is
a problem with these devices and mice.
