I think I understand and I can only confirm that this is a problem in the driver for some reason. I tried to find the exact reason for this 4-5 months ago but came up empty that time. I have however only seen one or two questions about this, so it's obviously not a problem many has. I am looking into support for true hotplug of wacom tablets for the next release from Xorg (7.3), and there are a few things that needs to be changed in our driver if that should work as we want. *Maybe* those changes can help in this case. When I look at the code I doubt it, but there's always a possibility.. Meanwhile, if you really want to be able to do what you describe I can only point you to my wacomproxy kernel module (http://wacomproxy.sf.net) which has slightly different ideas what 'grabbing' really means and this makes a significant difference in your case. You will also be able to unplug/replug your tablet without switching VT to make it work properly as a bonus. There is a user-space implementation of this somewhere on the linuxwacom web (I just can't find it at the moment..).
