I experience two bugs:
a) this one (where the mouse is still responsive after freeze)
b) another one (where, after the freeze, the mouse doesn't react
   anymore, either)

a) seems hasn't occured for me with the current driver since I
   applied Albert's patch. It occurred quite frequently after I
   downgraded to 2.4 (using the same link you provided above).
b) never really had a chance of occurring before I applied Albert's
   patch (since it seems quite rare) and only occurred once since.

(I will file separate reports for these bugs as soon as I get around
to it.)
