I would like to thank you all for suggestions.
Today I tried various configurations of pullups/pulldowns with single and
double inverters and it just didn't work most of the time, nothing reliable.
It seems that it makes almost no difference if there is an inverter or not.

Thanks! I will try it out tomorrow (today, actually).
Well, in either case I will prepare some documentation and put it all somewhere
online before October so others could play with it too while I can't (as my
holidays come to end).

It's hard to tell now. My idea was to use interrupts for both 1351 emulation
and PS/2 transfer (from two external sources, SPI and a timer) and do data
processing in the main loop. The two subsystems work when separated, I don't
know yet how will they coexist :). When irqs from POTX were triggered during
my experiments today I got almost correct values.
I have bit-banging routines for PS/2 too, just in case :). The clock on PS/2
changes every ~40us and it seems enough time to service timer irq that handles
1351 emulation (pulling up a line/both of them/releasing them).
It may be possible to handle it without SPI.
