Well actually, I've just upgraded to the very latest version of xorg-server, 
6.9.0nb5 (I was using 6.9.0nb3), and the problem have disappeared... I'm 
sincerely sorry for making Matt and you lose your time with this.

I did read Joerg's message of Feb 1st about a "sysmouse issue" fixed in the 
current package set, which I was using, but since I still experienced a problem,
I thought this issue was unrelated... Next time, I'll check the version more
carefully.

The output was always perfectly correct, but the mouse behavior under X.org
wasn't until the upgrade...

moused: received char 0x87
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x0
moused: received char 0x7f
moused: assembled full packet (len 8) 87,0,0,0,0,0,0,7f
moused: tv:  1140198616 381342
moused: flags:00000010 buttons:00000000 obuttons:00000010
moused: activity : buttons 0x00000000  dx 0  dy 0  dz 0
moused: mstate[4]->count:1
moused: button 5  count 0

Just in case someone is bugged by moused for some reason, here is the little
piece of code I was using to make full use of my mouse.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <machine/mouse.h>

void fail(char *s)
{
        printf("%s\n",s);
        exit(-1);
}

int main()
{
        int fd, level;
        if ((fd = open("/dev/ums0", O_RDONLY))==-1)
                fail("unable to open mouse device");
        if (ioctl(fd, MOUSE_GETLEVEL, &level)==-1)
                fail("unable to get mouse device level");
        level = level ? 0 : 1;
        if (ioctl(fd, MOUSE_SETLEVEL, &level)==-1)
                fail("unable to set mouse device level");
        printf("mouse device level set to: %d\n",level);
        close(fd);
        return 0;
}
