I was looking at that other bug report @vk1266 linked, I do not see why they thought it was a kernel issue, as shown by the USB packet dump I submitted above the data is unique between the scrollwheel and the tilt, thus it is hitting evdev with unique information, thus it would have to be an evdev issue and not a kernel issue. It is a simple fix to be done and it is hitting multiple mice in my household, one of which is my SO's, who is quite distraught over such a simple bug that does not exist in her old Windows install when she uses her tilt quite heavily, hence my very quick testing...

It worked right before the update.
