    D'oh! Thanks to your question (and knowing that it worked for a
    similar system), while simplifying my config file in order to post, I
    tracked down exactly what the problem was. Now I'm a little
    embarassed that I'd let this bother me for so long!

    In the InputDevice section for "synaptics", this line was responsible:

           Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.001"

    I can't say whether this was related to the upgrade to xorg or to a
    new version of the synaptics driver or what, but somewhere the
    behaviour changed. The driver's changelog doesn't document this, but
    everything seems to be working when I just remove the line.
