I tried downloading linuxwacom-0.7.8-3 source and
building it, then running
  src/util/wacdump --force tpc /dev/ttyS0
This behaved slightly better -- the X coordinate
is no longer pinned to zero -- but it still spews
errors like this:

ERROR: LOBIT FAIL
WARN: Bad high bit, discarding 1 bytes
ERROR: LOBIT FAIL
WARN: Resetting tablet due to bit errors
ERROR: LOBIT FAIL

Kinda makes me thing the baud rate is wrong, or
something...

suggested doing
dpkg-reconfigure setserial
and choose manual, then create /etc/serial.conf with "/dev/ttyS0 port
0x0200 irq 5 autoconfig"

Didn't work for me, so I guess maybe I'll try playing with
setserial and wacdump in single user mode to make
sure X isn't confusing anything.
