For some reason the digitizer needs better earthing (through a firm grip on the device) to work on Sailfish than on Harmattan.
I think it is due to some calibration that would be needed on the device to make it more sensitive, and that's missing on MER so the digitizer works on default sensitivity.
Calibration seems like something easily solvable, given there is time for people to work on it. Like I said, for a proof of concept, things work miraculously well!

Some people experience this behaviour on Harmattan, also, so it is not that uncommon.
I was not aware of that, so I take your word for it.

You mean using the stock kernel image to overwrite the NAND en then quitting the process of flashing? Sounds legit. Question is, how to know when it's safe to press Ctrl-C?
