This is exactly what we've been trying to get rid of with even smaller libs such a libgdl and lib2geom. This is where I'd rather see our release manager stepping in to make a decision.
After seeing how difficult it has been to try and get our internal copies of libcroco, libgdl, and lib2geom out of trunk, there's no way in good conscience that I could say it would be a good idea to bring an instantly stagnant copy of gtk in-tree.
As evil as it is to say "screw our tablet users", I'd say we're screwing users more by not having someone reach out to fix the issues upstream. It would benefit far more than our users directly and is the "right" way to go about it. That said, we really only have one developer who really ever delves into input devices, and that is something that slowly improves (if at all) between releases.
I think it's the wrong solution, that's my .02
