Confirmed in Feisty for me. I have had the same problem in Dapper and Edgy.

Sometimes, I can sometimes get around the problem by instead of choosing Switch user do the following:
1. Choose Lock Screen
2. Poke the mouse to get rid of screen-saver
3. Click Switch user
4. Log in as normal for that user.

Since this works and the normal switching doesn't, I think it might be something related to the fact that screensaver/locking happens automatically when you switch user and that it might steal the mouse control when the new X server has been started.
