I've made some partial progress on this bug. A couple things:

1) In Lucid Lynx, I can let the tablet stylus hover over the screen,
click the button on the side of the stylus, and get the context menu
that I'd get from a right-click of a mouse. This functionality is either
missing or hidden in later versions of Ubuntu.

2) The pressure threshold for registering a click from the stylus is
larger in later versions of Ubuntu than it is in Lucid Lynx. As a
result, it *appears* that a "right click" from the stylus doesn't work.
In reality, if I press the button on the side of the stylus and then
push the tip of the stylus hard against the screen, I can manage to eke
out a right-click menu. I can get saner behavior -- but *not* the same
behavior as in Lucid Lynx -- by using xsetwacom to reduce the pressure
threshold to, say, 7, which is the default pressure threshold in Lucid
Lynx. I still have to actually contact the screen with my stylus to get
a right-click event, which makes it easier to accidentally click on a
nearby item in the right-click menu. This is not as good as the behavior
in Lucid Lynx.

As of yet, I still can't get the stylus to behave in Natty Narwhal as it
does in Lucid Lynx.
