I have the same problem with my system, but I see it when I use 
"Ctl-Alt-Backspace" to kill X.  I know that the USB device number does not 
change in my system.  It probably is not changing on yours, either, but it is 
possible given the correct configuration of X and the devfs (i.e. it could 
change and still be recognized).

As far as I can tell, it is losing some sort of "lock" on the mouse (file 
socket maybe?) but it is restored whenever you switch into X.  It has never 
been enough of a problem to devote much thought to it. :-)
