I've just tried the latest version 0.9.13, not in portage yet... same problem

The parameter that I think you are looking for is CoastingSpeed.  There is no CoastingSpeedThreashold (which seems like a typo on your part, it should be CoastingSpeedThreshold).

I haven't set any option manually. I should try to delete the gsynaptic configuration but I haven't find any config find neither gconf entry. Suggestions?

Take a look at g_synaptics_set_coasting_enabled() in src/gsynaptic.c file, the bug is there. The attached patch should solve it.
