I looked into Qt and there are three locations where x and y tilt values are obtained. They are all in qapplication_x11.cpp in the function QETWidget::translateXinputEvent.
The first one is this (I have removed quite a lot of lines, check the original to be sure): s = XQueryDeviceState(X11->display, static_cast<XDevice *>(tablet->device)); for (j = 0; j < s->num_classes; j++) { [stuff] if (!proximity) { xTilt = short(vs->valuators[WAC_XTILT_I]); yTilt = short(vs->valuators[WAC_YTILT_I]); pressure = vs->valuators[WAC_PRESSURE_I]; So it loops over something(?) and grabs things. Then a bit later it does this: if (motion) { xTilt = (short) motion->axis_data[3]; yTilt = (short) motion->axis_data[4]; where motion is an XDeviceMotionEvent. Immediately afte that it does } else if (button) { xTilt = (short) button->axis_data[3]; yTilt = (short) button->axis_data[4]; where button is an XDeviceButtonEvent. Based on this the potential bugs are that either Qt does masked valuators wrong or the X server gives incorrect data in event structures. The xinput output mentioned above would seem to indicate that the fault lies with Qt.
