xboxdrv controller not detected by Escape Goat 2

I'm trying to use the xboxdrv driver (for my xbox 360 controller) instead of the xpad driver and I'm having some issues with it not being detected by Escape Goat 2. Here are my results:

Steam + Escape Goat 2 + Xpad = Controller detected and works fine
(i.e. ran escape goat 2 from steam)

Steam + Big picture mode + xboxdrv = works fine
Steam + other linux games (e.g. towerfall ascension) + xboxdrv = works fine

Steam + Escape Goat 2 + xboxdrv = controller not detected
Escape Goat 2 + xboxdrv = works fine
(i.e. ran escape goat 2 from outside of steam)

I think the last result is most interesting.

Any ideas on why it's not being detected when run via steam?
