I think it is a problem in the mouse firmware, but maybe my suggestion
with disabling inquiry scan and page scan before disconnecting can help
to not bring the mouse into a deadlock.

That is exactly the point. I discussed this with another company and it
is hard for some sales/support guys to understand what is really needed
and what is simply a bad design. Not integrating an on/off switch is
totally stupid. However Apple did this one right, but you there is
always the proble with the missing second and third mouse buttons ;)
