X sends three different events for each device event. a core event, an XI
1.x event and an XI2 event. xev only listens to core events, I expect maya
listens to XI 1.x events. though we don't filter properly in the server so
you should still see core events for every XI event, even if the coordinates
don't change in the core events.

note that the one → three event conversion is done in the server, we only
ever post one event to the server. either way, all the button events have
the coordinates of the touchstrips included, so you would still see the
movement whenever a button event comes through. I suspect this may be the
issue you're seeing.

Cheers,
