I found that doing:

mkdir ~/shouldhavebeendoneatcanonicalalongtimeago
cd ~/shouldhavebeendoneatcanonicalalongtimeago
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evdev
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-evdev
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev/log/  
download and unpack the tar at [head], cp -r (overwrite) the contents of the 
xserver-xorg with the newer stuff
cd xserver-xorg...
rm debian/patches/*
debchange -n  (put in a remark as to the date of the fix)
dpkg-buildpackage -b
in the vm, install the result (dpkg -i ../(latest deb there).deb

and ... scrolling once again works in vms where it was broken before.
I've tried to attach the .deb for amd_64 with this post.
