On  an older KVM that doesn't keep the mouse signals while switched I 
have seen this.  Here's the weird part though...  If I'm not switched 
onto that machine while it is booting up it won't do that when I switch 
back and forth later.

I imagine it probes for the mouse on boot up and is loading something if 
it find it. There's a package for mouse support in console. I wonder if 
that has something to do with it.
