Comment (by x-ist):

 This is an issue in the HID MouseDevice implementation,
 which originates from the difference between relative and absolute
 position data
 provided by a mice and josticks.
 IIRC the implementation does not differentiate at this point.
 However, there was a discussion about that in the ML archive,
 which led to the conclusion that it would be "a feature" to be able to
 move the cursor not only by means of a mouse, but with every USB HID
 device providing similar position data.
 Nevertheless a differentiation is required here.
