It's not a hardware failure and the patch fixing the software problem has already been applied (BTW, it's a good idea to use facts instead of speculations). As for evdev, I wasn't aware it can handle pressure levels, does it really? But I'm going to try the tablet with wacom driver, since I use a Wacom tablet and presence of both wacom and wizardpen drivers causes an X server crash.
