        <pre>ok, to clarify: you're using the trackpoint's button row's middle button,
followed by movement of the touchpad. The middle button event is swallowed on
long presses.

This is caused by the middle button scrolling enabled by default on your
trackpoint. When the middle button is held down, a movement of the trackpoint
is converted to scroll events (and the middle button event is swallowed). 
<a href="https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrolling.html">https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrolling.html</a>

To disable this, use Option "ScrollMethod" "none" on an xorg.conf snippet that
matches *against the AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint Stick device*.

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "Disable middle button scrolling"
