We have talked about this at length a good while back in the IRC (please check logs) - needless to say, we didnt come up with a solution then. Perhaps its time to take another look into this ...
I looked at this myself with xinput and didn't see any way to distinguish the keyboard from mouse. Unless the driver offers more configurable options that can be played with (maybe it'd be possible to turn pinch-to-zoom off completely?) I'm not sure what can be done outside of configuring specific apps that can ignore the action (like Firefox).
So I looked in the log (see from 06-05-2017 -> 11-05-2017

Those are the tech sheets. The gestures are actually key combinations (so the system thinks a key combo is pressed) works over i2c.

IIRC, one option would be to block the particular combination for zoom +/- in the kernel - but neither longsleep nor ayufan found that to be a valid solution at the time.
