I am confirming this regression on my Ubuntu 12.04 AMD64 with MS Wireless Laser Mouse 5000, evdev version 2.7.0-0ubuntu1.2. The left and right mouse tilts cause up/down scroll, firing 4/5 according to xev instead of 6/7. The mouse wheel tilt is therefore not usable anymore in the newest Ubuntu LTS. It's quite annoying.

xserver-xorg-input-evdev 2.3.2-6ubuntu3.1 that is part of my Ubuntu 10.10 installation does not have this problem on the same hardware.

I would be happy to downgrade to 2.6.0 that appears to work fine according to the previous reports here. However, I can't get 2.6.0 for Precise since it was published for Oneiric only:
