This seems so unlikely, I have trouble believing it's not a hardware problem. Have you tried using a different mouse? Or using your mouse on a different computer? What about if you turn on preemption but not preempt-BKL (shooting in the dark)? Do you think the errors are correlated with, say, disk activity?
