Further bits of info.

1. Using i8042.nomux and i8042.reest on kernel command line does not fix this.
2. This time around, external mouse buttons do work, so I've looked at dmesg and found these additional messages:

3. If I do
modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse

both the trackstick and touchpad operate normally. Of course, this is merely an ugly workaround.
