i too am affected by this bug. i have a thinkpad x40. i made fdi files similar to comment #4. for me this bug doesn't happen at every suspend/resume, it happends about once in five suspen/resume cycles.

there is a workaround and maybe also fix for this problem in thinkwiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint

here the text from thinkwiki

Scrolling may be disabled after a resume from suspend.

You can manually reactivate the trackpoint by reloading the psmouse module as root:

    # rmmod psmouse && modprobe psmouse

You can automatically force the pm-utils to reload this module. Create a file /etc/pm/config.d/01reload_mouse as root with the following content:

# reload psmouse to reactivate trackpoint scrolling
SUSPEND_MODULES="${SUSPEND_MODULES:+$SUSPEND_MODULES }psmouse"
