These might or might not be relevant, but I'm linking to a few forum threads
here so I won't need to google them again when I want to track and see if
there's helpful information.  There's at least one more thread (possibly on
another forum) I would've liked to find -- on it they mentioned how the
unwanted cursor appears after switching VTs (this is a big problem for me; I
run games on another X server, and would like to switch to the primary desktop
every once in a while without triggering the bug).

On the second page of the first thread, they point out a curious fix: add some
delay before the call to hide the mouse cursor.  I've noticed that the
mode-switching delay (when a game switches resolution or I switch VT) goes
hand-in-hand with this bug, and that eliminating some mode switches can reduce
the frequency of triggering this bug.

Sadly there's no common denominator in the information gathered.  For some,
disabling compiz seems to help.  For some, this problem seems to occur with
intel drivers only.  For some, it's a gnome issue, and for some it's something
else.  Sigh.
