I can confirm your problem.
 
I have a standard Mac SE and am using the A+ ADB Optical Mouse (which if you
excuse the plug, is a GREAT product). Anyway, using system 6.0.4, I can
move the mouse around and type on the keyboard as fast as I want and it works
with very little jerkyness. However, 6.0.5 causes big problems with the mouse
when you are trying to type. 

I can live with this problem for a little while, but if it persists I will
simply have to go to 6.0.4, and hope that the problem is corrected in 
system 7.0.

My guess is that they changes something with the adb port to allow
compatibility with the new Mac fx which has a new keyboard. I'll keep playing
around with it. If someone comes up with a solution or some information,
please let us know.
