Sounds like bad palm rejection, no? I just have learned to keep my hands clear of the trackpad when typing but sometimes it doesn't help.

Not sure it's that. Required a reboot to sort it.

It was already mentioned in previous comment but no solution so far. Except that I was able to confirm it's undoubtedly a firmware issue: if active hub is attached to USB port, power is delivered also to USB keyboard and therefore to trackpad so reboot/poweroff doesn't reset the trackpad state even though whole software stack is completely reloaded (self generated events continue to happen even after restart when external USB power is attached).

Yup. That does sound like the same issue.
