I can confirm this problem in the freedesktop git tree. These are my observations:
If running a touchpad driver such as appletouch or bcm5974, simply reload the driver using rmmod and modprobe. The result will be that synclient -l is unchanged, whereas the actual parameters affecting the driver has changed to the defaults in the synaptics.c source code. For instance, if you have two-finger scrolling set in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and reload the driver, synclient -l will still say two-finger scrolling is on, but it will not work. The output of synclient -l and the real effect on the driver are evidently not always the same, which is a big red flag. I have looked a bit at the code, but still no luck.
