That doesn't happen to me, but it's probably related to starting X in
parallel with rc.local, so X gets to probe those before they are
removed?

Anyway, if one can come up with a perfect xorg.conf that disables the
extra devices there and only configures glamo + touch input + hw
buttons, that'd be nice.

If I recall correctly that was always so in the old kernels as well,
so even though it makes not much sense it may be so also now. But I'm
using FSO so possibly it shuts the power off when starting (although,
on the other hand, I wouldn't expect the FSO1 to know the sys paths in
2.6.34). For me, iwconfig shows the device but om wifi power confirms
that it's not "really" powered up (and iwconfig says Tx-Power=off). I
guess the interface is always there as ar6000 support is compiled into
the kernel?
