For everyone talking about JavaScript: As far as I can tell, this is fundamentally a CSS vulnerability. Something quite similar ought to be possible without JavaScript — it would just be a bit less elegant. For example, you could just make a pixel grid of divs to simulate mousemove events and position the fake cursor with CSS hover styles.

Sounds plausible (and I'd love to see an example!), but would hardly be worth the effort if JS would catch 99% of the victims.
Actually just CSS won't work in this case - because the Facebook Like button is within an iFrame. This works because Javascript cycles show/hide a transparant div above the Like button.
