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.
