I've been bit by the same "bug" (I'm sure it's just a configuration option 
that's no longer default). I found this[1] on google and wrote the following 
script:

$ cat ~/.config/autostart/enable-middle-click-emulation.sh
#!/bin/sh
XINPUT=/usr/bin/xinput
[ -x $XINPUT ] && $XINPUT set-int-prop "Logitech USB Receiver" \
        "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 8 1                                                                          


You can obtain the list of devices like this:
$ xinput list
