I do think that ps2 mouses aren't always hot-pluggable, but
I'm uncertain.  xorg 6.9 and moused -z 4 don't seem to play
nicely, I had to take the -z 4 flag out for scroll wheel to work
again.
I also discovered that some cheap KVMs (belkin omni cube) throw
up a lot of random noise when you switch ports, and mouses
can do odd and not fun things when you reconnect (up to and
inclusing freezing X and panicking the system).

If yours isn't related to that maybe it's just your momma
board not likin' the hot swappin' and is tryin' to tell you to
quit it.
