This gives me three usable regular buttons (ie. right, left, middle),
and a working wheel.  In 'xev' the remaining regular button generates a 
button3 event, and none of the special buttons register at all.  The
"Buttons" option doesn't seem to do much at all...

I am just extrapolating from my seven button mouse, but try something like:

In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
[...]
        Option          "Buttons"               "12"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "11 12"
EndSection
In ~/.xmodmap:

pointer = 1 2 3 11 12 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Then you have to source ~/.xmodmap somewhere with the command 'xmodmap 
~/.xmodmap'.  I do this in my .bashrc, but this is more a kludge than 
anything.[I have the following in my .bashrc:

    if [ "$TERM"  == "xterm" ]; then
         xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-Pretzalz
    fi
]
