I completely agree. I had a similar problem, and I got it solved this way:

...
err=EvtFlushPenQueue();


for (i=start; i<stop; i++)
{
if (EvtSysEventAvail(false))
break;
...

By passing "false" to EvtSysEventAvail, you ignore the penUp events. As you can see, you need to flush the pen events queue before entering the loop. I find this solution more reliable because this way you don't miss important events such as low battery condition. In fact, your code may lead to a totale loss of data.

I hope it helps,
GL
