Thanks for reporting back.
I don't have this problem. The closest I got in trying to reproduce is this:
If you touch the display as the reader is going to sleep. Only after it is asleep (give it a few more secs, it's still awake for a short while) let go the display. And then wake it up using the power button. Then the first time you touch the display it does not register.
Or rather, it does register, but as a swipe motion, it becomes visible in Sketchpad. I touched it in the lower left corner before sleep. Then tapped the upper right corner after wake up. And Sketchpad draws a straight line between those two points.
From the software point of view, the touchscreen is kind of like a keyboard. Touching the screen is like pressing a key. Letting go of the screen happens while the device is asleep and thus does not register. So on wakeup the software still believes it's being pressed. When you touch it again, it does not register you pressing the key, it just registers the new coordinates, and you letting go of the key. Thus you get this giant swipe in a perfect line.
None of that should stop the screen from working altogether, though.
