xinput --test uses XI 1.x events and they work a bit differently than core events. events are delivered from the window underneath the pointer upwards to the root window until a client selected for those events on the window. so if you run xev --root but anything below the root window selects for button events you won't see them on the root window. I suspect this is the case for you. start a plain xserver and then xev and you'll likely see the events appear on the root window.
