Could this be the same 'trick' as described in these forum comments?

(start with mouse, then unplug mouse and plug-in tablet once Inkscape is running. Alternatively (IIRC), other users recommended to start Inkscape with the pen right from the beginning)

We also had this observation reported:

«In the end it was the fact that the Wacom mouse was sitting on the Wacom tablet off to the side. It prevented my wireless HP mouse from interacting with Inkscape. The moment I removed the mouse from the tablet, it all worked well.»

AFAIU these reports were for Inkscape 0.48.1 and older versions. Inkscape 0.48.2 on Windows uses a newer GTK+ stack which appears to have improved tablet support, but on the other hand introduces new issues with pressure sensitivity for some Windows users: see

and the linked reports/topics in the comments there.
