This sounds a bit strange.

hidraw shouldn't be making too much difference in the case you describe. 
hidraw is basically just a mean of relaying HID events to userspace so 
that any driver/application in userspace can access them. But magicmouse 
driver is written completely in kernelspace.

Does anything on your system have /dev/hidraw* nodes open? (you could 
check by lsof).
