I must have been on a lucky streak with acpid. I had it disabled later,
cycled the lid and still lost my cursor.

If you close the lid, bring it back up and are missing your cursor, toggling with the following brings the cursor back inside X:
 xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Device Enabled" 8 0
 xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Device Enabled" 8 1

When you close the lid, Xorg kills the keyboard and trackpoint. For some reason it fails to turn it back on when it comes back up.
It may be missing a hotplug event.

Lucid is all udev so I'm not sure how all of that factors in... the
debugging continues.
