tested using the fisher public beta: when running a GUI mode install, serial mice are not properly detected and are not usable; the install can only proceed via the keyboard
Perhaps this is the reproduction of bug 23264 that msf was looking for? :) This actually might be due to the phantom PS/2 mouse problem as it was called in 2.2.18-pre since I think I've seen a couple of reports that it's present in 2.4ac also
