The fix (changing some C source) was included in some patches you have sent:

  [vbox-dev] [PATCH] Various fixes for FreeBSD

  Hi guys,
  
  I am sending most of our patches that we collected during the last
  months and especially
  during the 4.3 development period. I am sorry that we did not manage
  to send them right
  on time before 4.3.0 but I hope we can do better in the future.

Thanks for your time. I will try if 4.3.0 solves the problem I see with
4.2.18 (mouse buttons are not working in guest) and if not I will work
for the moment without mouse-integration. And I will start a new VM with
the actual /usr/src and portstree.

Thanks again for your helping hand.
