@jm-leddy: I tested the patch by patching and rebuilding [1] the actual Raring kernel (3.8.0.-25.37). To my mind, no improvement compared to the non-patchted kernel, which means if the touchpad lost sync and stops working it takes a long time to reconnect. Of course I also get the output [2].
Imho, best experience is using Kernel 3.10rc7 mainline, which I am testing currently. There, I can still reproduce (heavy typing during using the touchpad) the lost syncs with non-working touchpad but the time to reconnect is quite low. Maybe it's due to Ubuntu's patch [3] which got finally mainlined in 3.10 [4], maybe it's something different. I will use and test 3.10 in the next few days, maybe the time window to reconnect is small enough that the user does not recognize it. But as I said the output and non-working can still be triggered with my touchpad [5].
