Oh, this might be because I added a debug device. Given that there are
2 devices on the HID node, then one is tagged as Stylus by the kernel.
Nothing to worry about.

Thanks a lot. And of course this device doesn't react in the way I expected :)

Transitions from/to the tip touching the surface while the second
button is pressed are normal, there are no extra events...

But this also showed that the previous filter was better when pressing
the upper button while touching the tip on the surface, because now we
get another spurious event that was filtered before (and because it
was filtered, I thought it was not there).

Anyway, I couldn't rewrite the filter today, but I'll work on it next
week for sure.
