touchpad settings not shown on libinput touchpads

Description
On Debian 9 with xfce4-settings 4.12.1-1, the touchpad of an Acer Aspire V (automatically detected using the i2c_hid driver and shown in xinput list as 'SYN1B7F:00 06CB:74DE Touchpad') shows up in the mouse settings, but does not have a "Touchpad" tab to switch between two-finger and border scrolling.
The difference I observed between that and working cases was that the device shows up in xinput with several "libinput" properties, but does not have the "Synaptic" ones.
I am not sure whether this was not covered by #11469 or whether it's an independent regression; I should be able to provide more information about the particular case if any further is needed.
The output of xinput list-props is:
$ xinput list-props 'SYN1B7F:00 06CB:74DE Touchpad'
