I have the exact same hardware, and the exact same issue with 3.2.0-9.16 I tried 3.2.1-030201 and it resolves the issue perfectly. In fact, simply booting 3.2.1-030201, then rebooting into 3.2.0-9.16 makes 3.2.0-9.16 behave properly.
This seems related to the touchpad also, as the touchpad did not work for me at all until I booted into 3.2.1-030201 linux-image-3.2.0-9-generic: Installed: 3.2.0-9.16 Candidate: 3.2.0-9.16 Version table: *** 3.2.0-9.16 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc.
