Unfortunately, this functionality is provided directly by Unity without
any configuration option.  If you're not using Unity, let me know but
it's the only reasonable explanation that fits the data at this point.

If the problem is stray capacitive discharge in the device itself, you
don't need to touch it.  It doesn't show up in other applications
because it requires a particular sequence that gets interpreted as three
separate simultaneous touchpoints followed by three more separate
simultaneous touchpoints, and that sort of thing could happen easily if
the dielectric in the touchpad has a thin spot or is misaligned on one
edge.  Few applications look for that sequence of events, if any, and
it's likely that hardware QA processes also don't check for such a
thing.

Really, adding a new configuration option to disable 3-touch application
switching is the simplest solution.
