Great! You wrote very descriptive crash report which made tracking the
bug rather easy task!

This one looks like corrupted fragment of touch device HID report
descriptor. Check wires, USB port, device itself and so on. Most
probably, it is a standard eGalax HID device with some USB transport
problems.

I don't think so. I have a sample of non-HID eGalax touchscreen built in
2009. It advertises bInterfaceClass = 0x00ff rather than 0x0003 (HID) in
your touchscreen.

xf86-input-egalax can not work with kernels compiled with EVDEV_SUPPORT.
This options disables native interface of uep(4)
