Don't give up just yet!
Extensive testing seems to indicate that this is a legitimate bug, and as such, it should be reported, and addressed,
The next step would appear to be having the bug confirmed by someone with an 'official' (Non SDL) version of MAME, and submit a bug report to MAMETesters.
It is unfortunate, in some respects, that no other games are included in the Food Fight driver, because finding other games for comparison purposes seems meaningless (I have been unable to find a similar problem in games like Road Runner, or Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters, both of which feature a return to center, analog stick).
This leads me to believe that the problem is in the driver, and not in the joystick system.
