At bug 168819, this same behavior was reported using the graphire4 on WinXP, XP SP2, and Vista. I merged it in as a dupe per David's suggestion. Some comments of interest from that thread:

"What I have found is that when I
lift the pen from the tablet it unfreezes much faster than when I keep the
pen near the tablet. I have a mouse plugged in at the same time, and if I
try to move the mouse it moves the cursor like normal."

"If the stylus moves out of range of the tablet (ie. too high) the mouse
pointer freezes.
The frozen pointer may be recovered by:
* Using the mouse
* Moving the stylus in at a low level from the edge of the tablet
This is also and issue with the latest version of GIMP (version 2.4.1)..."

The fact that it is an issue in GIMP makes it sound like a GTK problem, rather than an Inkscape problem...
