This (3.11) may be reason. Update to latest edition:
ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/downloads/emm386/emmx225.zip
and try again.

There was changed (fixed) EMM386 so, that it now correctly preserves
interrupt flag when calling INT15 - whereas CuteMouse 2.0 depends precisely
on INT15 BIOS services. Before this change in EMM386, CuteMouse was locked
(at least) in QEMU. This is why I recommend you firstly try latest EMM386
edition.

No, PS/2 searched first.

Do you read ctmouse.txt "(This is because the Mouse Systems protocol
defines no detection sequence). Option /Y in the command line disables Mouse
Systems protocol support and prevents driver installation if no mouse with
Microsoft or Logitech protocol is found."? What precisely not understand by
you there?
Let me rephrase: mice with Mouse Systems protocols can't be detected,
so driver always installs itself on first available COM port (with support
of Mouse System protocol) if there are no PS/2 or serial mice with other
protocols. To prevent driver installation when there are no mice at all, use
/y option.
AG> 3. Could this be a memory issue, and /W would help?
I doubt.
