This bug also affects me on Linux Mint 15 Olivia running MATE 1.6.0 as well as previous Mint versions.

I just tried blegat suggestion at #11 quoting Hutterer, and set y-axis noise cancellation to 32 (my pointer shakes uncontrollably in the vertical axis only). So I executed

xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Noise Cancellation" 8 32

and the issue virtually disappeared, making my touchpad usable for the first time. I will reboot the system, test it for some time, and if find anything relevant will post back.
