Using an Apple Magic Trackpad in Unity...
Touch 3 fingers: After a second or two (?!) the grab handles appear but the trackpad goes dead. Only my mouse continues to work. The trackpad comes back to life a while after the grab handles vanish, and I've moved the pointer with the mouse.
Touch 4 fingers: Trackpad goes dead again. Takes a while before it starts responding again. This also triggers bug 859069.
I can reproduce the above bugs in Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 beta 2 (live).

Update: The cause has been traced down to either a kernel or hardware issue as per comment #4.
TEST CASE:
Test case without X or Unity:
1. Pair the trackpad using hcitool/hidd utilities.
2. Run: evtest /dev/input/whatever
You will see lots of input events for 1 or 2 finger touches. However the evtest event stream freezes when 3 or more fingers are touched.
Test case in Unity:
Touch 3 fingers: After a second or two (?!) the grab handles appear but the trackpad goes dead. Only my mouse continues to work. The trackpad comes back to life a while after the grab handles vanish, and I've moved the pointer with the mouse.
Touch 4 fingers: Trackpad goes dead again. Takes a while before it starts responding again. This also triggers bug 859069.
