I should mention that the problems occur under Linux 2.4.? (? < 10) and that the hat switch works ok under Windows though I don't know the mapping there as it is hidden. So I think that the explanation from David Megginson (bug in the kernel joystick code) sounds logical though I never would have thought of that.
