Just updated my PC from the last LTS Ubuntu distro to 18.04LTS, and the stylus on my Wacom Wireless Bamboo tablet immediately lost all button function.
The system seems to be tracking the stylus itself, as moving it over the pad causes the cursor to move around the screen, but touching the stylus to the pad and/or clicking the button on the stylus body gets no response.
The touchpad function on the tablet itself, on the other hand, responds to finger drags and taps as cursor movement and clicks, respectively. The A/B buttons at the foot of the tablet do not respond, same as the stylus buttons. Deets as follows:
Tablet Model: Wacom Bamboo Pad (Wireless), CTH-300/K
System: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, 64-bit
Devices > Wacom Tablet: Displays "No stylus found / Please move your stylus to the proximity of the tablet to configure it" and doesn't respond to stylus cursor movement in that area. Tablet > Wacom Bamboo Pad Wireless > Tracking Mode is "Tablet (absolute)". Trying to use "Map Buttons..." to set the A/B tablet buttons doesn't work; they display on screen for mapping but don't respond to being pressed.
libwacom-list-local-devices:
One point I noticed: Libwacom lists the tablet stylus as 0xfffff;0xffffe, which are the codes for a default standard stylus and a stylus with an eraser. The stylus for the Bamboo Pad doesn't have an eraser or a rocker button, and should be set as type 0xffffd. Not sure if this means it's related to this bug or not.

I've also had issues with assigning persistent settings to this tablet in the past, though I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what's going on now.

Trying to use "Map Buttons..." to set the A/B tablet buttons doesn't work; they display on screen for mapping but don't respond to being pressed.
libwacom-list-local-devices:
One point I noticed: Libwacom lists the tablet stylus as 0xfffff;0xffffe, which are the codes for a default standard stylus and a stylus with an eraser. The stylus for the Bamboo Pad doesn't have an eraser or a rocker button, and should be set as type 0xffffd. Not sure if this means it's related to this bug or not.

Pen button click: No noticeable response
If anyone has any ideas on how to proceed, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to try to remove the extra button mapping, reassign libwacom's styli code for the tablet, and/or find out exactly what the button action codes correspond to, but I'm having difficulty finding information on how to do any of that. (And I'd rather not kill what little functionality I still have.)
I've also had issues with assigning persistent settings to this tablet in the past, though I'm not sure if that has anything to do with what's going on now.

Restored functionality to stylus touching the tablet by downloading the Bamboo PAD rename patch to my libwacom source directory, running sudo ./configure, then sudo make && sudo make install, and rebooting. (Patch details found here.)
Restored right-click functionality to the stylus body button with xsetwacom set <id> button 2 3, but it needs to be applied every startup.

I know it's an old question, but I have continued to run into this with Ubuntu 19.04. The solution I found was to install the missing xserver-xorg-input-wacom by issuing hte command
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-wacom.
