Sorry, I was wrong about Parallels VM:

No, in Parallels VM is exactly the same problem. Cursor doesn't blink after reboot, X restart or resolution change(!). But after launching Software Center (switches cursor to animated) mouse pointer begins to flicker. After reboot, X restart or resolution change cursor begins to behave normally again.

So it looks like problem is in "default" driver that is used when nothing better is available.
