As Lucas is a few meters from me, we have been able to progress a bit
about that. The problem comes from a bad interaction between SDL and 
Xorg. The bug has been actually already reported sometimes ago, but it
seems it happens on more machines now. 

It is reproducible with other SDL applications like planetpenguin-racer.

A workaround is to set the environment variable SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE to 0.

That's probably because your guest doesn't not have USB support, and so
is not able to read the position from the USB tablet device.
