I found the cause of this problem.

Due to the bug in Xorg it unloads the keyboard driver when it gets signal from hald that keyboard is disconnected, even though there is still another keyboard that is hooked up to kbdmux. Looks like Xorg code assumes that there can only be one keyboard and isn't aware of kbdmux.

This was when hald is enabled (by default), and ServerFlags section in xorg.conf looked like this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "yes"
EndSection

When I changed this section to this:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
keyboard doesn't get affected, but mouse disappears for good when unplugged and plugged back, since (I guess) Xorg ignores ums0 device errors.

I filed the following PRs with Xorg:
