After a recent update, I have observed possibly similar behavior (but I'm not sure what "fails" means from the bug description). On a ThinkPad x200t, the pen works fine after login, but touch is in relative mode, no matter what the setting in the Wacom configuration. Even after setting absolute mode using xsetwacom, a sleep or logout/login will reset the touch device to relative.
