Mouse nipple... thats a new one...
The nipple - aka trackpoint or pencil eraser -
Early TP's had a reset to 0 issue in the early drivers, all models would
later have an updated driver that corrected the drifting. Have you
friend update their trackpoint mouse driver from IBM TP driver matrix.

The mouse cursor on this laptop (an aging Thinkpad) keeps on moving by
itself - presumably the hardware side of it's the same on all laptops
with a mouse nipple though. Anyone know if it's worth me trying to get
underneath the keyboard to fix it (I assume it's a dirt-related
problem) or is the problem more likely to be some sort of obscure
software issue?
(I have no idea when mouse nipples first appeared on laptops, but I
imagine they're on topic just :-)
