I have the same problem. In my case, it seems like the screen is way too sensitive to the stylus than it should be. Usually, you expect it to respond only when the stylus touches the screen but in my case...sometimes when the stylus is close to the screen but not touching it, journal starts writing. That's what gives me random lines/scribbles when I am taking notes.
I even disabled the touch input and enabled "pen only" input but still no luck. I installed Vista Business on my own so I don't think Technical support is going to help me since the computer came with xp tablet (I never used it though, so I don't know if it's an OS issue).
I think I found a fix to the problem (atleast in my case). After playing around more with my xt, I realised that I get these random scratches (vectoring) only when I rest my palm on the screen while inking. If I wrote with my hand not touching the screen, everything worked fine. Further, I had this issue only when my xt was in the tablet mode. Combined these two observations suggested that the weight of my hand was somehow involving the touch pad which was causing this issue. I reinstalled the touchpad drivers after installing the latest n-trig bundle and everything seems to be working fine now.
I think windows is also partially responsible for this because after reinstalling the operating system I temporarily got rid of this issue. However, once I connected a usb optical mouse, windows installed the plug'n play drivers for that mouse and I started encountering this issue again. Somehow, the relevant touch pad settings must have been changed by this. But again, as soon as I reinstalled the touchpad drivers, the problem was fixed again.
