I see the issue on an IBM T41. It has been there in Feisty, and it is still there on Gutsy as of 2007-08-23. The mouse pointer cannot be moved with the trackpad as soon as the second user login screen appears. A connected Apple Mighty Mouse works (with 1D scrolling). I would guess this is a duplicate of 68370 as well (but I post here, because this is tagged "medium", while the other is low (which is inappropriate, given that user switching is enabled-by-default).
I actually have a use case, where this laptop is used for a DJ/media performance. The environment is a bit low on space and somewhat "hostile", so a mouse would be extremely inconvenient. I and other operators perform on it under a generic account. I want access to my personal account in breaks without quitting the media applications.

I think 39822 might be a related issue, too (but tagged as "not needing to be fixed"??!): /bugs.launchpad .net/debian/ +source/ xserver- xorg-input- synaptics/ +bug/39822
