This is provided by missconfiguration of mouse protocols.

I your XF86Config is:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2" <------------------
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
What option you used for gpm repeater mode? Maybe simply '-R'?
Than gpm repeater was working as 'msc' :( You can try
-R ps2 or -R raw with Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
also
-R with Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" would be usable.
