Workaround: at boot, press F2 to get into BIOS, then set trackpad to Basic instead of Advanced.
This even lets you scroll with a two-fingered gesture, and changes the output of  
cat /proc/bus/input/devices  to:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
