Nothing new to add regarding the bug, just something I found easing the pain a little for me.

'm on Arch in the meanwhile but I think the issue is the same. At some point the psmouse driver crashes and loads a generic one. If this happens the Trackpoint scroll doesn't work anymore.

I usually fix the issue with the following commands to reload the psmouse driver.

#(after this you cannot use your mouse anymory temporarily)
sudo modprobe -rvf psmouse
#and reload the driver:
sudo modprobe -vf psmouse
