As far as I know, the myTouch/Sapphire screen is the same as the Dream/G1 screen, and they both are inaccurate along the edge. You can run the Pointer Location applet in DevTools to see what they do -- you'll notice when you get close to the edge the pointer snaps to the edge. What is happening is that you have reached the area of the screen where it can't detect your position along that axis, so the driver reports a position at the very edge.
Pointer Location can be very educational in seeing how the touch screen actually behaves. :) Also, except for the amout of flash, I am pretty sure the myTouch and G1 are identical hardware as far as the CPU, memory and memory bus, etc. goes. And since they are both Google Experience devices running 1.5, the system software should be basically the same -- the only differences are probably a few configuration options such as turning on sensor rotation by default, and probably some different pre-installed apps and media. Anyway, getting an adb bugreport from a misbehaving device can often be very educational.
