This bug needs some attention, we just released Looking Glass which relies heavily on the relative input mode of SPICE which in turn relies heavily on the virtual i8042 controller. This project has the ability to completely eliminate the need to dual boot a Linux machine with windows and is gaining much public attention, if it wasn't for this bug it would be damn near perfect.

I have confirmed this problem in the latest version in git (530049bc1dcc24c1178a29d99ca08b6dd08413e0). After the erroneous behavior the operating system issues a keyboard reset which prevents the mouse from functioning until the operating system is restarted. This seems to only occur if the PS2 mouse is being used as the input, the tablet input device doesn't exhibit this behavior.
