I turned on debugging in the moused script:
<many lines of setup stuff snipped>
+ debug run_rc_command: evaluating moused_start().
+ eval moused_start
+ moused_start

+ vidcontrol -m on
ESC[=0AESC[=7FESC[=0GESC[=0HESC[=7Ividcontrol: showing the mouse: Invalid argument

I don't know where that string of control characters comes from.

Below is the relevant part of your moused script.  Does it look correct?
From the debugging output above it looks like the 'case' statement never
ran, but I'm not certain:

viddev=/dev/ttyv0

moused_start()
{
        echo -n 'Starting moused:'
        /usr/sbin/moused ${moused_flags} -p ${moused_port} -t ${moused_type}

        _mousechar_arg=
        case ${mousechar_start} in
        [Nn][Oo] | '')
                ;;
        *)
                echo -n ' mousechar_start'
                _mousechar_arg="-M ${mousechar_start}"
                ;;
        esac

        vidcontrol < ${viddev} ${_mousechar_arg} -m on

        echo '.'
}
