FC4 USB opti-mouse goes wild

I have a Logitech M-BT85 optical USB mouse (with wheel).  It works
fine with FC4 [Linux version 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4] most of the time. See
lsusb output below FWIW.

Occasionally, when I'm mousing around doing nothing special, the
cursor takes off like crazy across the screen and lands somewhere at
the edge.  Really annoying!  My mouse preferences are all set to
middle values.

Have I got a bad mouse, or do we have USB / driver problems?  Is it a
known problem? Should I declare a bug?

Thanks for any clues.
