One major issue is the lack of any indicator in fullscreen mode, which is the sensible mode on any low-res device (mostly netbooks). The 'start' animation would be useful, but we still would have no idea if/when the page-loading is completed. This could also be a serious issue on Ajax-heavy sites.
Now part of what started it all, if I understand correctly, was the feeling that the original cursor animation seemed to go into a frenzy if a page loaded a large number of resources (.css, .js, .png, etc.). Would it be possible to bind the cursor to whatever controls the tab throbber? That one seems to merely start on page loading and stop on page loaded. We'd have a reliable and consistent indicator.
I can't really help on the Mac UI integration issue, not having Mac OS myself, but wouldn't a (crippling?) lack of UI be worse than a not-native UI?
