I too can confirm this problem. I suspect after a number of Xorg packages were upgraded, I find that my cursor now does what the bug reporter describes. I have attached an image of what happened when I hovered over a link on a forum I use. There cursor should be a hand in the picture, but since the updates, it changes to a cursor when a tooltip comes up half the time. Sometimes, the cursor can flicker between a hand and a pointer three times before it remains a pointer (as opposed to a hand as it should do when hovering over a link).
Only noticed this happening on Firefox 3.05+nobinonly- 0ubuntu1 and Firefox 3.1~b2+ build1+ nobinonly- 0ubuntu1 using Jaunty.
