Tracked down the problem of the mouse that te mouse is in absolute 
mouse mode (verified by logging, therefore coordinates are very high and absolute 
and not relative):
static void pointer_event(VncState *vs, int button_mask, int x, int y)
{
...
     if (vs->absolute) {
         kbd_mouse_event(ds_get_width(vs->ds) > 1 ?
                           x * 0x7FFF / (ds_get_width(vs->ds) - 1) : 0x4000,
                         ds_get_height(vs->ds) > 1 ?
                           y * 0x7FFF / (ds_get_height(vs->ds) - 1) : 0x4000,
                         dz, buttons);
     } else if (vnc_has_feature(vs, VNC_FEATURE_POINTER_TYPE_CHANGE)) {
         x -= 0x7FFF;
         y -= 0x7FFF;
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// We get here in (verified by core dump), but we should get into last
// else
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
         kbd_mouse_event(x, y, dz, buttons);
     } else {
         if (vs->last_x != -1)
             kbd_mouse_event(x - vs->last_x,
                             y - vs->last_y,
                             dz, buttons);
         vs->last_x = x;
         vs->last_y = y;
     }

...
}

Guess problems comes from the following commit (not yet verified):
commit 37c34d9d5d87ea9d51760310c8863b82cb8c055a

     input: make vnc use mouse mode notifiers

     When we switch to absolute mode, we send out a notification (if the client
     supports it).  Today, we only send this notification when the client sends us
     a mouse event and we're in the wrong mode.
