I've discovered that reloading mousedev works (rmmod mousedev; modprobe mousedev) and the device is correctly created. I have mousedev in /etc/modules. It seems that when the module gets loaded during boot udev fails to notice the device and doesn't create it, but does after the machine has booted. I don't have anything else that creates a device node in /etc/modules, so I don't know if it is just mousedev or anything in /etc/modules.
