I included the tail of the output of 'hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes'.
Looks like it is simply exiting with an error (exit 1) after reporting
that hal-runner had died. I get:

Run started hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse (0) (0) 
!  full path is '/usr/local/libexec/hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse', program_dir is '/usr/local/libexec'

[various device additions elided]

15:29:04.274 [I] hald_runner.c:151: runner process disconnected
*** [DIE] hald_runner.c:runner_died():204 : Runner died

While I don't see anything else that looks even slightly odd, I can
provide the full output.
