Found it, yay! Free the macs from the fash.

This works for me:

# Steal interface 1.2 from usbmouse and give it to bcm5974
echo -n "2-1.8.3:1.2" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbmouse/unbind
echo -n "2-1.8.3:1.2" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/bcm5974/bind

echo "blacklist usbmouse" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-usbmouse.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u

usbmouse claims USB interface 2-1.8.3:1.2 (HID protocol 2 / mouse) before bcm5974. The live/frugal system seems to avoid this. Fix: blacklist usbmouse system-wide or add a udev rule to rebind 1.2 from usbmouse to bcm5974 on device add. Device ID 05ac:0253 is present in bcm5974’s alias table, looks like a driver load-order/race condition.

I’ve found this before long ago, and forgotten. The combo of bugged keyboard, wi-fi and touchpad on these systems was a hellscape…but nature is healing 🙂
