The mouse pointer should fade out with the rest of the screen when screen goes blank.

[Cima]

I noticed that when the screen slowly fades to black (for power save) the mouse pointer is still at full brightness until screen is switched off.

I don't get this behavior.

This happens to me, as far as I can tell it always happens.

Ubuntu 9.04 amd64

$ uname -r

I get the desired behaviour on UNE 10.10, w/ Unity. However, does not behave correctly on Desktop Edition 10.10.

However, on both editions an intermittent bug occurs when interrupting the fade process. Sometimes you can interrupt it, others can not. These times you'd have to wait the 3 seconds or so for the computer to go into complete lock mode before you can wake it up again. I believe these things to be related so may not open a new bug for this at this stage. But will if required.
