OK, I figured it out. It wasn't directly the problem of udev (but I still blame it :-) but the mouse driver wasn't being loaded anymore. Don't know why, I booted an older kernel, and it loaded the mouse driver, but not a recent kernel. Oh well, adding the mouse drive into /etc/modules works. So I sort of apologize to the udev folks, but atleast with the old mknod, I would have seen (device not found) and looked harder at the kernel.
