you can ignore any edge state messages if edge scrolling is disabled.
especially the AREA state just means "Not an edge, continue normally".

upgrade to libevdev 1.5. the cause here is that uinput devices don't set the
resolution and we rely on that in libinput for the touchpad sizes and to enable
a few features. libevdev 1.5 uses the new uinput ioctls (you'll need kernel
4.5) and you'll get the resolution set properly and everything magically works
;)
I replayed your recording here and this shows up:
palm: palm detected (edge)
so the finger is detected as a palm when it stays at the edge for long enough.</pre>
