I can't reproduce after trying for some time. Have you tried a different mouse? What distribution and hardware are you using?
I now found a way to reliably reproduce this issue. Just spin up the minigun as heavy with right mouse button and move the mouse around rapidly in a circular motion. After a few (around 10) seconds the minigun stops spinning. Tried this around 10 times and always happened within less than half a minute. It is not limited to the right mouse button but also happens with the left one. This happens also when I disable raw input, but I do not remember this happening before raw input was implemented for Linux.
This happens with my Logitech MX518 and also a no-name USB mouse. It also happens with one mouse holding the button and the other mouse moving around.
I'm currently running KDE 4.9.5 on Fedora 17 x86_64.
I reproduced this on my notebook (software should be the same). It seems to happen less often, but it also happened there after some trying. This difference in likeliness does not seem to be caused by graphics settings, but might be caused by differences in computation power of CPU and GPU. I also tried with only one monitor enabled (no difference).
I also tried to reproduce this bug on plain X without any window manager. After two minutes of trying I gave up (my arm then told me to not try more). It either happens significantly less often when KDE is not running, or it is caused by KDE (or some other program running in the background).
All test performed today were with raw input enabled.
BTW, my desktop system:

This should be fixed in the next tf2 update (hopefully next week). Thanks!
Same here. I recognized that bug with CSS beta. In CSS the mouse1 button isn't used correctly. While holding a flash, this bug appears sometimes and the flash is thrown without releasing the mouse1 button.

raw_input enabled!
Oh, I thought it was just me. That explains why I was having problems with the mini-gun in matches/scrims. I have swapped out three mice to troubleshoot. Also disabled the touchpad thinking I must have been fat-fingering the touchpad and nearby buttons while playing.
I never had any trouble at all with input devices until I installed compiz (desktop enhancement/animation add-on). Since then I have trouble with missed clicks missed releases (may continue firing, may ignore clicks, same issue with both buttons). Try installing compiz to see if you can reproduce the issue.
Turning off "raw input" fixes the issue (that started happening after installing compiz), but it disrupts my aim somewhat due to what feels like mouse acceleration.
This bug still occurs as of today with Ubuntu 13.10.

@mikesart Are you going to reopen this bug? It obviously isn't fixed. Thanks.
Nothing extracted yet.
Since I have raw input for the mouse enabled, I sometimes have the situation that I hold a mouse key and at some point it is no longer registered as pressed. I have to release and repress the mouse button to have it work again.
I'm not exactly sure about other situations (will pay more attention to it in the future), but it happened several times while using the right button to spin up the minigun as heavy while using the left button to fire. Sometimes I release the left button and the minigun spins down while it should still be spinning because the right button is still pressed.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to reliably reproduce the issue. It is not happening often, but when it happens it is often deadly (to my heavy).
