It appears that the mouse wheel tilt problem affects Microsoft mice specifically. I tried a Logitech Wireless Mouse today to see if it makes any difference. It did make a difference. Unlike MS Wireless Laser Mouse 5000, this Logitech mouse does work properly with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.7.0-0ubuntu1.2. The left/right mouse wheel tilt works properly in Logitech mouse.
The Logitech mouse has only "Logitech Laser" sign on it, there is no product or serial number and I am therefore unable to provide further details on the mouse hardware. dmesg reports the following:
dmesg:[ 2.449193] logitech 0003:046D:C517.0002: input,hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input1
