Yes, the pointer is being placed with a mouse. The OLPC XO laptop in question has both a touchscreen and a touchpad. In these tests I am only touching the screen with 1 finger at any one time. I think your reply might have included multi-touch considerations (what is a "subsequent touch"?), but I'm not venturing there yet. I think you may be suggesting here that having screen touches move the mouse cursor is by design. Unfortunately that leads to the awkward hover behaviour and confusing touchscreen user experience outlined in my original mail. Is there anything on the horizon that might improve this?
