I had the same problem until I discovered that the app "shortcutd" by default makes the phone vibrate when the proximity sensor is covered. Did you maybe install this app?
If yes: remove or edit it!

sounds like an app is foing it - mce has a list of vibrate commands built in - worth searching the forums for an xterminal dbus command to try them all out (Healthcheck has some built in)

If maintainers don't know about existing bugs they cannot fix their apps. :-P
