I am a little surprised this prominent bug seems so "quiet".

To emphasize my last post:

SOLUTION!

for this bug is:

lightdm starts a syndaemon instance which MUST be terminated upon session startup.

Otherwise two syndaemon instances compete for disabling/enabling touchpad, and will eventually get out of sync.
This was simply overlooked when switching from gdm to lightdm as login manager.

PLEASE FIX.
