XP-Pen touchpad emulated clicks are not registered

Summary

I have an XP-Pen Deco Pro Small drawing tablet with a small embedded touchpad. This touchpad is recognized as a mouse and tap-to-click does not work. I would like to correct this, but am stuck in my attempts. Any pointers are appreciated.

Feature details

The firmware has a configuration where the touchpad can be configured either as a 'roller', in which case clockwise and counterclockwise drag are emitted as scroll events, as a 'mouse' (the configuration this issue is about), or as 'customized', in which case custom actions can be assigned to certain gestures. I assume some interpretation is done on-board for 'roller' and 'customized', whereas 'mouse' is probably the setting that exposes the most usable data.

I have tried adding

# XP-PEN Deco Pro Small
id-input:modalias:input:b0003v28BDp0909e0100*
 ID_INPUT_MOUSE=0
 ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD=1

to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/61-input-id-local.hwdb, but with that I get:

# libinput list-devices
event8  - 9 inch PenTablet Mouse: kernel bug: device failed touchpad sanity checks

Tested on libinput 1.19.3, systemd 250, linux 5.16.8.

Affected Hardware

At least the XP-Pen Deco Pro Small, but there are a few similar devices by XP-Pen.

Implementation in Other Systems

I believe tap-to-click works on MacOS, but I am not sure.
