Yes, this is what actually happens. JFYI see current thread on lkml which 
is a bit realted - http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/27/149 if interested.

You can of course work this around by adding an udev rule such as

SUBSYSTEM=="input",KERNEL=="event*",SYSFS{name}=="appletouch",SYMLINK+="input/appletouchpad"

and the let Xorg use /dev/input/appletouchpad, which will always be a 
symlink to the correct device.
