Both devices are created by the same input subsystem mouse driver. That driver is loaded (because /dev/input/mice was able to be opened), but there is no underlying USB support for the input subsystem. Input subsystem support was made configurable in -pre9, and if you don't select that option, then the hid parser directs the output to /dev/usb/hiddevX.
