This update seems to have solved the issue I was having earlier. I do
still see some weird behavior with the Intuos3 though. For whatever
reason, if a tool is in prox and no client is connected, the device
will repeatedly connect and disconnect from the bus. For example,
while sitting at a VT after connecting the device:

[ ... and so on ...]

It makes using the device from a VT difficult (e.g. for debugging),
but in the typical case where X is started shortly after boot and
hotplugs devices as soon as they're available it shouldn't pose a
problem. If Benjamin has any ideas I'd like to hear them, but in the
meantime I'm comfortable seeing this go upstream:
