Ok, I'll try disabling typing block tomorrow (the problem is in my work desktop). But I disagree with your "way to really fix the problem", the computer in question is a mac mini (a desktop) so it does not have a trackpad at all so the really way to fix would be to mouseemu to be automagicaly disabled.
