I had exactly the same problem and your intutition is correct.

You need to use a three button mouse and you need to comment out the
Emulate3Buttons option in /etc/X11/XF86Config. It worked like a charm for
me when I did that.  

I am running on Mandrake 7.0, but this is quite RedHat-like so I imagine
the same solution should work for you.

ps.  I wasn't using ChordMiddle, but the comments in the XF86Config seem
to indicate this is for Logitech mice.
