In this case the problem is that Weston is internally missing some touch
up events and it doesn't even involve the clients. Weston really needs
to know how many touch points are pressed so that it can tell if a new
touch is the first one in order to decide which surface to send the
events to. I don't think there is a good way to do this without assuming
the up and down events we get from the input driver are consistent. This
patch could help catch problems like that in future.
