Looks like you're right. The following magic incantation works for me 
(T410s, Win7/x64), thanks to [3].

Add the following near the top of both TP4Scrol.dat and TP4Table.dat (in 
C:\Program Files\Synaptic\SynTP on my machine), then kill all 
UltraNav-related processes and restart them; you also have to restart 
any mintty you want to see the new behavior.
