Hi Harvey, is this bug still affecting you? If it is, current versions of Ubuntu have an ability to ship xorg.conf "snippets". So a way we could solve this would be to create an xorg.conf.d snippet for your specific hardware, and a udev rule to enable it. If you'd like to try this approach, could you identify the exact xorg.conf (or xinput property) settings you think should be shipped with this hardware?
