Did some digging... turns out reverting this commit fixed it up:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?id=c719553dac875824b2d2a8f7714a89998ab4828d

As I said I (and my other victim) are both 64 bit, so I suspect the 
"funny things" you mention are happening even with this commit :s
