I think the magic mouse is treated like a trackpad under the hood so all the gestures work. If someone with a magic mouse tried to uncheck the natural scrolling box under mouse they'd be confused as to why it didn't change so that could be why the two settings are "linked".

Also there's this app called MagicPrefs that allows you to bind things to gestures, including rebinding the system ones. I use it to bind three-finger click as middle click and at this point I can't fathom not having it. It supports all kinds of Apple trackpads and the magic mouse. This implies that all touch gestures, regardless of the shape of the device, share most of the underlying code.

...right, that also makes sense with how some other tools behave. So this applies more to the Mighty Mouse, which is what the wheel acceleration curve feels optimized for IMO.
