I had the same issue when I tried to install FreeBSD 10.0-RC5 on a desktop
system with a USB mouse.  I installed all the packages via the 'pkg'
command.

Your workaround worked for me.
This seems to be a known issue because it has been mentioned elsewhere:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-September/044594.html


Is this workaround necessary in the future, or is there a newer precompiled
hald package which solves this
so that you dont need to set moused_nondefault_enable in /etc/rc.conf?
