Oh well, I know that problem. :) We need to move completely away from unmanaged kernel-forked processes in the hotplug area. SUSE 9.3 already ships a udevd that listens only on netlink for hotplug messages and /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is set to "". Hannes converted the input layer to a input_device class to get the event through netlink. Maybe you can have a second look at it, so that we can get that thing upstream soon to fix the last broken hotplug-user and make hotplug_path finally private.
Thanks, Kay
