I returned the Touch with the double tap issue and never looked back. The replacement device was fine.
I guess it's more than that - my Touch didn't have dead taps with neither 1.9.14 nor 19.16, but with 1.9.17 (which introduced a whole area that didn't respond at all to my touch, too - plus the dead taps in other areas). I had dead taps with 2.0.2 (though seldom) - but don't have any with 2.1.1 (or so seldom that I don't remember to have any ).

So I think it may be a problem with faulty hardware, but it may also be the combination of firmware and hardware that causes trouble.
