Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

When running Karmic as a guest under KVM/QEMU and using the "-usbdevice
tablet" option to KVM/QEMU, the pointer positioning works correctly but
the scroll wheel is ignored.

The problem is a bug in the version of the xinput evdev driver in Karmic
(2.2.5), which causes wheel events to be ignored from pointing devices
with absolute axes. This is fixed in the latest version of the evdev
driver:

evdev/commit/?h=evdev-2.3-branch&id=d764dded18c47cec009babc075f2324cba1781ce

I have attached a backport of that commit, which I have confirmed fixes
the problem.
