Hello Jason, Even though you don't have a joystick, can you run jstest-gtk (from the package with the same name) anway? I suspect that some device driver in your system is masquerading as a joystick (perhaps a driver for an accelerometer chip or something like that).
Can you also send the contents of /proc/bus/input/devices?
