Mouse pointer disappears

With the current Cygwin X server (or what is as close as I can get to
the current one, because cygwin.com is unreachable for me) I have
noticed that the mouse pointer disappears when the window has focus.
If I just move the pointer over the X server window and it isn't
focused then the pointer changes into a correct X pointer for the
application running in the X server (for example it changes into an
up-down arrow when hovering over the modeline in xemacs).  But as soon
as I click in the X server window to give it focus, the mouse pointer
disappears and remains disappeared as long as the pointer location is
above the X server window, and that window is focused.

I can't reproduce this every time but I have seen it on a few
occasions.  Here is a log file:
