I have an Anywhere MX with similar issues. It doesn't depend on boot, but it fails in a matter of minutes. On cold boot occasionally I can have it working for 15min and if I plug-it off and re-plug-it it will work for 3m.
The problem arises on 12.04 with 3.2+ kernels. I have test the mouse on a nearby machine with 11.10 several time and works always.
