I observed this as well and I think it matches the technical concept. It is
a sort of bridge arrangement of four resistors which give the pen position
by the voltage if the pen is pressed down. If not the absolute value of the
bridge resistance is periodically scanned by the Newton as reference value.
If something presses permanently onto the screen it fools the reference to
smaller values and thus causing not so far right x-values of the pen, which
is a pen spot 5mm right to the real pen position. To me this is completely
logically and removing jaggies by increasing the gap (Remember: Mind the
gap! ;-) is the only treatment.
