Yes, It looks like that ILI2132 version intended to be a FT compatible.
I did a very quick mock-up and connect MCU direct to a touch controller. As per comparison provided earlier my ILITEK CT is outputting whole 64 byte data payload, no matter if you press one touch or more. They "padding" data to the left so first touch data, followed by second, etc. The remain of no used data is zero and there is some validity data at the end. I attached some images from analyser for a reference. This most likely causing you a problem on multi as TC is processing data from a stream rather than from associated register. For example five touches will give you [1,2,3,4,5,0,...] but three [1,2,3,0,0,0,...], etc.
