I posted that.  After I got a couple of email questions about it, I
went back to the dealer who told me about the problem (and replaced my
mouse).  The tech told me that it was *not* official; somebody at
Apple had mentioned a problem (he wouldn't tell me who), and my dealer
was now replacing the mice with no questions asked.  Since he had
immediately replaced it when he saw the serial number, I incorrectly
assumed that it was official.  I should have checked.  I apologize for
the problems my post caused.  (I still think Apple has a problem with
their mice.)
