 This will be fixed someday.

 Note that you don't need mice to use this feature - if you have a fast enough
weapon speed, stay by the walls - attack the wall, switch to the direction you
want to move, attack the wall again, switch to direction you want to move.
 Repeat.  This may not be as fast as killing mice, but it does still get you
some bonus if your weapon speed is much faster than your normal speed
(actually, I think in reality, if weapon speed > normal speed + 1.0, you the
above method will let you come out ahead, since 1.0 of speed will be used for
the attack.
