I can reproduce something like this with #194, but not with #193.
I'm guessing it was something that was uncovered by this change:

                   Patch #194 - 2004/7/27 - XFree86 4.4.99.11
       
     * change  clearing  operations  so  foreground color attribute is not
       set.  Usually  this  is  benign,  but in some cases when the cursor
       color  is  not  set  explicitly,  the  cursor would show this color
       (Debian #252873, #260471).

(If the cursor color is set explicitly, no problem is seen - I usually
have my cursor set to lime green).
