I'm almost tempted to declare this a show-stopper for FreeBSD 4.1. Is anyone else even able to reproduce this?
I haven't found any activity that correlates with the symptoms, either. It just seems to happen randomly.
This happens in our office all the time; definitely since early 3.x and probably before. We use keyboard/mouse/monitor auto-switchers with Win95 and FreeBSD boxes and often upon boot when going through the switchbox, this out-of-sync error appears. I've never had it happen when the mouse is plugged in directly though. FWIW, the switchbox appears as: "psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3", regardless of what the actual mouse is.

Jordan's problem is different from yours.
As I said many times before, the problem regarding the console switch is very well known, and is difficult to solve in a general way.
First, some console switches are not smart enough, or claims to be smart when in fact it only knows about the IntelliMouse.
Second, if the machines you are using via the console switch use different OSes (and hence different mouse drivers), there is no guarantee that these OSes put the mouse in the same operating mode.
I'm wondering if my laptop acts like a console switch, since it'll switch back/forth from the 'internal' mouse to the external mouse if I plug the external mouse in.
However, if I force it to probe my mouse as an older model, it works fine (but w/out the additional features (scroller) of the newer mouse.)
