This issue has been kind of fixed upstream by a comment on a dependent bug, see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66532#c5

The patch makes it so that all touches within AreaBottomEdge are ignored, which makes the touchpad usable. I don't know when/if this patch will be merged but it is possible to apply the patch to the synaptics 1.7.1 driver and compile it.
