One can also trigger kinetic scrolling, move the pointer and have the
mousewheel clicks land in an undesired location, e.g., by scrolling in
chromium and immediately moving the pointer to the tab area.

Surely the synaptics driver is in a position to be able to stop kinetic
scrolling when the pointer is moved (at all, or beyond a threshold). I
can't think of a situation where the current behaviour is desirable.
Similarly (although I believe this would involve two separate drivers
talking to each other, so I'm unsure about how easy this would be), the
synaptics driver should stop sending these delayed events if the status
of any keyboard modifier changes, which would address the bug reported
here.
