I tested this locally at HEAD (b5845e) on Linux debian 6.1.0-13-amd64 
and everything is working fine.

Could you please describe what terminal (the output of "echo $TERM") and 
kernel version (the output of "uname -a") you are using when you have 
this issue? Can you try toggling M-x gpm-mouse-mode on and off and share 
if any errors are reported?
