Bug still present in Hardy, as reported above.
Got the mouse working with
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto and some trivial
changes. which I've added to the document.
A solution such as what other distros use, as suggested by Ron above,
would be more than sufficient.

Other distros can do it just fine since 1996 .. how about:
If no PS/2 , USB etc mouse is found just assume that there is a serial
mouse attached and configure X accordingly.

Hmm, I don't know.
I guess I would do it like Windows95 and just use Standard Serial Mouse

Depending on the results I'll confirm or close this bug.

The Ubuntu team would love to provide full autodetection for such legacy
hardware. To implement this, we need some more data how many mice are
really detectable and which brand/model they are.
If you have a serial mouse and want to help, please follow the step
described here:
yes, it helped, piotr. Thank you.
This is still an issue for me. As nathanbriggs said, mdetect reports
incorrect values if it has to guess.

Team,
Serial mouse can work in xubuntu 7.04 !!! I also couldn't make it work
for years :] on my old PC, but this time I did it :)
I'm just showing what helped for me. Read on and get your own
conclusions.
I had a serial mouse, inserted directly to a COM. The problem was not
only about X. cat
Installing 7.04-beta (alternative, text-mode installation) onto system
equipped with serial mouse.
After initial reboot mouse is not function.
Things not changed, may the installer ask me if I have serial mouse? It
asks me for a less important information many times...
