Alright, I think I found the problem. There's a property of the stylus
called "Wacom Hover Click", which is set to 1 in *both* Lucid Lynx and
Natty Narwhal. However, the *meaning* of that property has changed in
more recent versions of the driver, as seen here:

If I set "Wacom Hover Click" to *zero* in Natty Narwhal, I get the same
behavior as when "Wacom Hover Click" was set to *one* in Lucid Lynx. Go
figure.

However, in Maverick Meerkat, "Wacom Hover Click" is set to 0, but the
meaning of "Wacom Hover Click" in Maverick appears to be the same as in
Lucid.

As for whether this behavior change should be considered a bug ... well,
on the one hand, the changes in software behavior cause user confusion
and an apparent loss of functionality, but on the other hand, the
software is behaving as designed. Not sure what the right answer is
here.
