I have followed these instructions, but have noted a few problems in addition the multitouch issue already mentioned:
1. After rebooting into Windows 8, touch NO LONGER WORKS. I tried shutting down and rebooting several times with the same result. It continues to work (for single touch) in Ubuntu.
2. The stylus does not work. It does not seem to be recognized as a wacom device. The stylus does work in Windows 8.
3. Double-tapping does not seem to result in a double-click.
4. The instructions for setting up kernel builds needs a few more uses of "sudo"

I have noticed flakey behaviour before in Windows related to touch being automatically disabled when the stylus is used then not getting reenabled afterwards. I don't know if that is relevant, since in that case it is fixed by rebooting Windows.

I'm wondering if the driver is leaving the hardware in an inconsistent state when shutting down and then Windows is unable to reinitialize it. Either way, rebooting does not seem to reset the issue.
