This looks like a crack in somewhere EventHandler: only the hovering pen events are missing pointerType, and they seem to be reusing an old pointerId. While the pen is touching the screen, both pointerType and pointerId look sane.

Just discovered that hovering pen events are not event handled by EventHandler::handleTouchEvent, which is odd.

Just realized that my fix for  crbug.com/557817  covers this Android case!
