I don't know. I'm on another machine, and the problem is reproducible
on it. Since the mouse is attached on the USB hub of the screen, I can
do this either by unplugging the mouse USB cable or by switching off
the screen and back on. In the latter case, if I do this while the
VLC window isn't visible (I'm on another desktop page) and go to the
VLC page again, the VLC window contains garbage, and if I click on it,
VLC crashes (segmentation fault) in QXcbScreen::mapFromNative in
libQt5XcbQpa.so.5.5.1 (I can give more details later). Should I report
a new bug for this?

Yes, and even on a different machine (see above).

In X.org log, something like:

[259110.094] (II) config/udev: removing device Logitech USB Optical Mouse
[259110.108] (II) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Close
[259110.108] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

Ditto on the other machine.

dmesg output:

[259110.065413] usb 3-6: USB disconnect, device number 22
[259110.065419] usb 3-6.2: USB disconnect, device number 23
[259110.112570] usb 3-6.4: USB disconnect, device number 24
[259110.276091] usb 4-5: USB disconnect, device number 14
[259110.276097] usb 4-5.4: USB disconnect, device number 15
