The trackpoint is detected when the psmouse.c driver realizes it has lost synchronization. So it is probably misdetecting and trying to parse a different protocol. Which also explains why parsing proto=bare works.

The question is now: Why is there a difference in functionality when proto=bare is used and when psmouse degrades the protocol by itself.
