I think the problem is that the tap detection in mousedev.c is very simplistic. It always generates a button click if the time between "finger down" and "finger up" is small enough, even if the finger was moved a large x/y distance. The X driver handles this with another parameter that specifies the maximum allowed distance. If the finger moved more than this distance, no button event is generated.
