I had the same problem, and I solved it, but I'm afraid my solution
probably won't help. I cleaned the blocked ventilation paths in my
laptop and haven't experienced the problem since. I think it was
overheating under load, even with SpeedStep.
I'm not sure why too much heat would cause this problem when it never
caused other weird behavior. Maybe some speed throttling or other
unusual activity was preventing IRQ's from being handled correctly.

Did you try restarting gpm? That happens to me whenever I swap from one
machine to another on the KVM switch. When I go back my mouse is
abslultely insane. Does everything EXCEPT what I said to do. 99 of 100
times killing and restarting gpm fixes it.
