VelocityTracker produce's unwanted negative results

Question

UPDATE: This person seems to know what I'm talking about https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=174970

Current Project: I'm working on a remote mouse and I am using a VelocityTracker to get the X and Y movements needed. (I tried using MotionEvent's directly but it just didn't work as nicely as the VelocityTracker)

Problem: In a casual swipe from left to right (A to B in the picture below), you would make the assumption that my X Velocity should only be going positive at all times. HOWEVER, this is not the case, as I decelerate my thumb (approach point B) I start receiving negative values on the X Velocity and although they might not be big (almost close to zero) they affect the mouse movement in a way that makes it let less easy to control. How can I get this velocity tracker to provide smoother or more accurate results?

Logs for the movement above:
