Do you also re-assign the device from the Linux kernel? Like this:

(the C408 0040 is my mouse).

 cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbhid
 for a in `ls -1 | grep :`
 do
   for DEV in C408 0040
   do
        grep $DEV $a/modalias
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "Unbinding $a for $DEV"
                echo $a > unbind
        fi
   done
 done

This is what the config file looks for me:
builder='hvm'
memory = 2048
name = "Windows7"
vcpus=3
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg_guest/Win7_Home,hda,w']
vnc=1
videoram=8
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
tsc_mode=0
usb=1
usb_add="host:045e:0040"
usbdevice='tablet'
xen_platform_pci=1
# Remember QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
soundhw='es1370'
pci=['01:00.0','01:00.1','02:00.0']
