I've tested with weston 1.7: the runqemu patch does indeed fix the
mouse problem (both with libinput 0.7 and 0.15). I think 1.7 is good
to go (at least on i965 it certainly 'feels' much better and
responsive), but if you feel like waiting for 1.8 that's fine too.

As for cogl: On QEMU cogl seems to fail regardless of weston/wayland
version, meaning anything using cogl fails to initialize EGL even on
current master.
On i965 everything cogl related seems to work on master, but the
clutter examples segfault after upgrading cogl and clutter to most
recent (Fedora 22 seems to have similar problems with clutter apps:
e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1210992). I'll
continue looking at this but don't think it should prevent the wayland
upgrades.
