I can't be sure (how I hate CVS) but it looks like development release 7.9.9 added a patch for autoprobing two weeks ago. With a scant two weeks to go until release, you'd have a hard time arguing that the risk to breaking wacom to bring in auto detection patches can be mitigated. If anyone's interested in hunting down the patches, here's a clue from the upstream Changelog:
