I have 1.12 installed, and -seat NNN seems to be working; at least when I
use -seat no devices are detected.  I'm having 2 issues:

1.  I'm not familiar with the xorg git repository, and I can't figure out
how/where to find the commit message you refer to.

2.  I can't find any examples of setting properties or tags in udev. 
Ubuntu does not use systemd, so I'm stuck doing this manually.

Here's one attempt; the symlink is created but X doesn't see any evdev
devices.

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ACTION=="add",
ATTRS{phys}=="usb-0000:00:02.1-2.4.4.4/input0",
SYMLINK+="input/seat/jason/mouse"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ACTION=="add",
ATTRS{phys}=="usb-0000:00:02.1-2.4.4.4/input0", ID_SEAT+="jason"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ACTION=="add",
ATTRS{phys}=="usb-0000:00:02.1-2.4.4.4/input0", TAG+="seat"

Is there an example I can go by?

Thanks!
