Given that you're talking about a TabletPC, its probably out of the question to ask if the correct behavior occurs under Windows. I'm not sure of the hardware limitations of some of these digitizers, and I don't know if the firmware can handle the detection of a large object like the palm and the pen simultaneously.
Instead of your palm making contact shortly before the pen comes in proximity, try the four situations you outlined under the following scenarios: 1) Single finger 2) Two fingers 3) Three or more fingers I realize these tests are pretty artificial, but they should narrow down if the problem is related to the number of touch points being detected by the tablet.
