No complaints here... Do what ever allows you to keep moving forward
with least resistance..  I am lead of other projects so I understand.

If Bamboo P&T support is going to wacom-linux tested branch soon, can
I recommend not including support for the second finger since its
basically broken?  That way we do not have to deal with these
backwards compatibility issues until we have a final solution (maybe
its not xxxTAP or even MT).  Probably this also applies to 0.8.6 as
well but since your in total control of its rules its not as much a
concern.

Since relative mode devices (touchpads) can not recover as gracefully
from bad events as absolute (touchscreens), the gesture bugs will be
much more visible to Bamboo P&T users.

You can get things debugged in tablet PC logic first and then once bug
free/event error free we can port over to Bamboo.

For that matter its a shame that tpc and bpt do not share more logic
in the kernel since they are doing identical tasks... just the
structure layout of interrupt data is slightly different.  Once TPC is
bugfree, it may be worth combining the two code paths to further
reduce your maintenance burden.
