This bug is hard to process because it's a policy issue (a question) that needs to be decided:

 * Should USB insertion or Mouse movement cause wake-up on a suspended/hibernated system?

If there are other ways of resuming the laptop (eg. opening the lid, pressing the power or Fn button), then this issue really a bug, but a need to answer the above question.

* * * * *

End of Policy issue, my own views:

Personally (this is my own view and may not be correct), is that USB wakeup by default would be a bad idea (a faulty USB device, or one that resets itself, or a USB device that is unplugged and replugged at the power-source would cause wakeup).

Mouse/keyboard, I'm not so sure about. Many people have 'cats'.
