Yes; i don't think I bumped into the pad or anything either with the heel of my
thumb/palm. I tried to keep as far away from it as I could when starting. I can
always generate another one via SSH and then try to reproduce while that's
running so I can be sure I had no physical contact with the machine when
starting, but it's fairly sporadic (though often) and a little bit difficult to
reproduce intentionally.

Hrm.. the hardware's fairly new (laptop was purchased/unboxed about two? three?
weeks ago). That doesn't of course rule out faulty manufacturing but it does
certainly make it being a hardware-level issue less likely, I'd presume.

Anything I can try to help narrow it down?
