Please be more specific. Do you have
a video card that doesn't like the
old dosemu's, but OK with the new ones?
Some Radeon?
If yes, then the fix can be easily
backported, so that you can do a
regress.
Or do you have a video card that doesn't
work with dosemu in console no matter
what the version is?

In console, or under X? If in console,
then it is because now mouse uses a
large event queue, the events from which
gets thrown to PIC one-after-another. This
works rather slow, but it is DPMI-safe.
Before, the events were passed to the
driver immediately (no queue, no PIC),
but that caused crashes.
If it is under X, then it is a bug as
the queue is not used (though the PIC is).

That's too much even for the queue.
Maybe setting $_hogthreshold to 0 can
help?

Not really, even though in theory it
is now possible (under console).
