I've reproduced this with Legend of Eshan, but I've not looked into exactly
why holding the shift key helps.

The current implementation is almost unchanged from the original SimCoupe
code, which explains why they all behave the same.  It has a 100us timeout
starting from when the first (of 9) mouse bytes is read.  A mouse reset is
performed when this expires, or after all 9 bytes have been read.

Edwin had looked at the interface schematics, and reports that the timeout
is closer to 50-60us, and should be restarted after each byte is read.  This
still didn't completely cure the problem, so there could be another issue
somewhere.  I'll work through it in more detail when I get home, and let you
know when it's fixed.

Yeah, you'd never catch me calling a product Turbo-something.  Oh, wait...
