Correct.  Remember that on the left or right motion I received two
presses and two releases for two different "X-buttons".

This same thing happens for other physical buttons on the beast.
Fortunately the two main buttons give just button 1 and button 3
respectively.
Another button just gives button 2 and the wheel rotation give button 4
in one direction and 5 in the other.  So it does work as a wheeled mouse
if I ignore all the other physical buttons.
