This is still an issue on a fresh Feisty AMD 64 install under KDE running the 2.6.20-16 kernel. I have swapped to a PS2 mouse, and that seems to have fixed the problem. I can confirm that:

After some period of time (minutes to hours) a logitech USB mouse stops working. (Light out)
Replugging does not fix the problem, nor can another mouse be added. All USB ports are dead. This includes both front and back ports.

System responds normally to keyboard commands, and retains responsiveness.

System hangs on reboot.

With multiple USB mice (one front one back) one will freeze up, then some time later the second will freeze as the rest of the USB ports die.

Removing the USB mouse before boot seems to fix the problem.
