I think the mouse detach bug is probably something more fundamental,
like teardown ordering. It's very easy to tickle, start up X with a
usb mouse configured (/dev/ums*), unplug the mouse. It may take a bit
of time before it occurs, but switching from X to a console seems to
make it happen immediately.
