Did you manage to fix this? If not, can you send your latest config and log? Unfortunately I tossed my old laptop for a newer one. However I did work out what the problem was. xorg.conf (as written during the initial installaion) contained an entry for a Synaptics Touchpad device that used /dev/psaux its device. This was fine in older versions of xorg, however later I upgraded to a newer xserver that interpreted mouse events from both the synaptics driver and the regular mouse driver (presumably using /dev/input/mice) simultaneously. The fix was to comment out the line 'Option Device /dev/psaux' from the Synaptics Touchpad InputDevice in xorg.conf. So this bug can be considered fixed if the xorg.conf that is generated by xserver-xorg no longer contains that directive.

USB? PS2? We've seen lots of bug reports like this that were caused by /dev/input/mice containing /dev/psaux or so. In such a case, all events are received by both the input section using /dev/input/mice (the default one) and some other section whose device file in included in the former, hence the double events that you see.
