Found it!

Testing with input-events from input-utils 1.0-1, I get:
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x46d
   product : 0xc218
   version : 272
   name    : "Logitech Logitech RumblePad 2 US"
   phys    : "usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.5/input0"
   uniq    : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_ABS EV_MSC EV_FF

The pad has the following input sensors:
* button 1: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589825 and EV_KEY BTN_TRIGGER (0x120)
* button 2: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589826 and EV_KEY BTN_THUMB (0x121)
* button 3: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589827 and EV_KEY BTN_THUMB2 (0x122)
* button 4: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589828 and EV_KEY BTN_TOP (0x123)
* button 5: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589829 and EV_KEY BTN_TOP2 (0x124)
* button 6: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589830 and EV_KEY BTN_PINKIE (0x125)
* button 7: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589831 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE (0x126)
* button 8: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589832 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE2 (0x127)
* button 9: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589833 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE3 (0x128)
* button 10: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589834 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE4 (0x129)
* left stick direction: EV_ABS ABS_X and ABS_Y, both ranging from 0 to 255
* left stick button: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589835 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE5 (0x12a)
* right stick direction: EV_ABS ABS_Z and ABS_RZ, both ranging from 0 to 255
* right stick button: EV_MSC MSC_SCAN 589836 and EV_KEY BTN_BASE6 (0x12b)
* D-pad direction: EV_ABS ABS_HAT0X and ABS_HAT0Y, both ranging from -1 to +1

There are also two buttons that do not generate input events:
* The MODE toggle button swaps the left stick with the D-pad.
  In that mode, the left stick generates ABS_HAT0X and ABS_HAT0Y,
  and the D-pad generates ABS_X and ABS_Y with values in the set
  {1, 128, 254}.)
* The VIBRATION button turns the vibrator on for a moment.
  I suppose the button may also enable or disable programmatic
  control of the vibrator, but I haven't tested that.

The bug with powermanga 0.90-dfsg-2 applies specifically to the
ABS_HAT0X and ABS_HAT0Y axes, which the D-pad controls by default;
thus the title of the bug.  The ABS_X and ABS_Y axes also control
the ship but the bug does not affect them.  So if you're testing
with a controller that does not have the hat axes, then I guess
you won't see the bug.

The Debian powermanga 0.92-1 amd64 binary requires libc6 2.14,
which I don't have on Wheezy, so I built a local package from the
0.92-1 sources.  I tested that the resulting binary has the bug.
