Looking at the logs I noticed that every disconnect threw a line with an UPower debug message. It appears that the xfce4-power-manager was using this daemon to poll the trackpad now and then for its battery level. What seems to have fixed the issue for me is to completely disable and uninstall UPower and xfce4-power-manager.
