in the driver or in xinput? there's about 5 levels where this can be a bug, so please make sure the driver has the right information.

I can understand why two fingers would be used with the special button area. Why else would you use two fingers on a single-touch touchpad?
Looking at the values my touchpad produces here, the ranges that I can trigger with by using two fingers and lifting one are about the same of those when moving fast from one point on the screen to another one.
From an UI point of view, this is quite important: touching the touchpad with two fingers and having the cursor jump is a predictable response that can be avoided by using a single finger only. Having a threshold that cuts off certain movements can interfere with normal usage of the touchpad in a non-deterministic manner.
