Tiger does load quicker but only because not all kernel extensions are loaded at startup...they are loaded as needed dynamically. I saw an Apple Tech or Developer article about this but can't remember where just now...this could be the cause of the problems...Because the extensions are not yet loaded it could assume this is a BT mouse or otherwise cause problems...do you need to power down the Mini or can you just sleep it? (Sleeping it would save you this problem until a smart person comes along and can tell you how to start a script during startup to load this extension???
The problem isn't as bad as that - the Wacom tablet works fine, other than being a bit erratic in its sensitivity. The issue is that Tiger thinks it isn't connected when in fact it is and it's working - if it wasn't I'd have to plug in one of my wired mice and dismiss the warning dialog with that.
It's almost as if, like you suggest, the wireless-checking "extension" is starting up before the Wacom one and spotting the issue, only for the Wacom extension to be running by the time you see the message. It's just a minor niggle but one that can be a bit alarming the first time it pops up and not something that makes OSX look particularly slick.
I doubt Apple will do anything about it - they're obviously pushing Bluetooth now and I guess it'll be up to Wacom. Having said that, 10.4.3 is supposed to fix something as weird as the Palm Desktop command-Q issue, so I live in hope :-)
