Hi,
the mouse needs to be reinitialized after being replugged. First it needs to be enabled and then set to the protocol it uses (if different from plain PS/2). This should be handled by mouse driver, i.e. gpm and X11. However, it isn't. There once was a kernel patch to do the first part (it can't do the second, asw the kernel has not the slightest clue about the specifics of the mouse), but * it was bad design (should be done in userspace, where knowledge baout the specific mouse id present) * broke some mouses (synps2 most notably) so it got disbaled. You can try reenabling by using the parammeter psaux-reconnect and check whether this makes a difference.
I don't have the slightest clue why it affects yoiur keyboard.
