I am afraid the second problem may be related to your kernel hang in
the first place.

Can you post the output of your "dmesg" command?
What kind of machine is this.

Is it fresh install or update/overwrite of something else?

Can you post the kernel logs when the mouse is attached?

I have (I think) similar setup - a laptop with external mouse.

I have two processes running:

% ps ax |grep moused
   583  ??  Is     0:51,41 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I 
/var/run/moused.ums0.pid
  1270  ??  Rs     0:31,96 /usr/sbin/moused -3 -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

So should you also have.

Can you recompile the kernel with USB_DEBUG set and set the following 
variables at boot:

hw.usb.uhci.debug=6
hw.usb.ohci.debug=6
hw.usb.ums.debug=10

You may want to remove all usb-devices from the kernel and load them as 
modules in /boot/loader.conf:

usb_load="YES"
ugen_load="YES"
uhid_load="YES"
ukbd_load="YES"
ulpt_load="YES"
ums_load="YES"
cdce_load="YES"
ubsa_load="YES"
uplcom_load="YES"
ng_ubt_load="YES"
umass_load="YES"
uscanner_load="YES"

This is will make applying patches easier (you can set USB_DEBUG then in 
/etc/make.conf or in the appropriate /sys/modules/<module>/Makefile with:

DEBUG_FLAGS=-g -DUSB_DEBUG
