This was noticed on these devices, affecting both stylus and eraser:
Wacom Wireless Receiver Pen 
Wacom Bamboo 16FG 4x5 Pen

When the tablet is set to left-handed in the settings, in addition to rotating the tablet, it also errorneously maps the stylus/eraser press event to a right click.

I got a clarification from the affected user. I'm not sure this is a bug per se anymore, but it does cause confusion for newbies!

This does not involve the tablet "rotation" at all. It is about the "right-handed"/"left-handed" settings under "Buttons and Feedback".

The user expects to use this to be necessary to rotate his tablet to left-handed mode, but it ends up swapping left and right-click. The best course of action would be to gray out these buttons for tablets, since they are confusing and pointless.
