Thanks for following up on this old bug... I should have put this as the first line in my original post, since it addresses the common assumption.
** This bug is NOT about touchpad-scrolling!! ** I don't mind having touchpad scrolling on, but I want my physical, hardware, scroll-wheel to work, just like it did on much older distributions. This is a blue wheel/button between the right and left mouse click buttons under my laptop's touchpad. There are physical hardware events that are not being seen at all. They should be available, for instance as button 4/5 events or whatever, from the driver. I having been using Gutsy for months. This bug is still present.
