This is pretty weird. The only code change between libXi 1.1.4 and
1.2.0 is the addition of device properties, which aren't supported by
the X server in sid, so these code paths should never get hit. More
investigation from someone who can reproduce would be welcome...
Changes in x11proto-input might also be relevant, but I don't see
anything suspect there either, and since I'm not affected by the bug
it's hard to figure out what's going wrong.
Cheers,
Julien
