With WACOM, it can sense the pen even when it's not touching the surface. It makes perfect sense when used in the context of a drawing pad, since you need to be able to visually position the pointer to the right location (hovering) before finally touching the surface to draw. The technology is suppose to be sensitive enough to detect at least a few hundred degrees of pressure. If you can write without touching the surface, then it is a calibration issue. Several Tablet computers and WACOM's own Clintiq LCD/Tablets still work fine under several layers of screen technology so the e-ink shouldn't be a factor.
Since IREX is releasing the 2.0 firmware for both the DR1000 and DR800, it is possible they may have gotten some settings mixed between the two devices. It would be interesting for users of both devices to compare notes.
