The trackpad has not recovered from that... which makes my Mac virtually unusable :-(
I even booted with OS X an external HDD and the problem persists...

I can't think of any way that a MinimServer rescan running on the QNAP could directly affect the operation of a different machine (the Mac). It is possible that there could be indirect effects such as increased power draw from the QNAP while the rescan is running.

My best guess is that the timing of these events was coincidental and there is no cause and effect relationship between them. Does the problem still occur if you power off the QNAP and reboot the Mac?

I haven't seen the problem you are describing and I don't know how to solve it. You might be able to get some advice by posting on a Mac user forum.
