The patched psmouse module from bug 582809 also fixes the problem for me, psmouse-2.6.35-23-generic.tar.bz2 against my current kernel, linux-generic 2.6.35.24.28. Yay.
I do not think that this is a duplicate of bug 687750. That bug is only about horizontal scroll not working and this bug is about the bottom area of the touchpad being unresponsive for any purpose.
