This is caused by unstable /dev/input/eventX order. The tablet would work one day and fail another because every time the PC boots or wakes form sleep it enumerates the event device in random order.
Sane input device ordering for the case when the /dev/input/eventX devices are not interchangeable (most cases when you have to resort to them) would be useful. This is, however, not something X is going to fix. Neither in stable which does not even try nor in 1.6. The 1.6 "hotplug" is horrible, I do not see any way how it can be controlled.
