Yeah, the bug is tabled at #390913, #407798 and #407798.

No, as mentioned in #390913 you should find you can recover the cursor
by stepping over to console and back again (Ctrl-Alt-F1 followed by
Alt-F7).

Agreed, it is annoying. It's even worse for me, the windows themselves
become ghosts as well, so that they cannot be moved else you can't see
them anymore. My workaround is to suspend-to-disk instead, using
s2disk (package uswsusp).
This is one of the things we hope that the future release of X.org
(X11R7.2 or 7.3) will fix, via the modesetting branch. This won't help
you if use etch, but after etch is released you could try the new
version of xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting once we get around to
updating it. It will likely appear first in experimental before we
move it into unstable.
