1. I don't see that on MS Windows, with this build, from emacs -Q:

In GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (i686-pc-mingw32)
 of 2014-08-15 on LEG570
Repository revision: 117706 rgm <at> gnu.org-20140815043406-p5hbu97cbm7pulcn
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 6.1.7601
Configured using:
 `configure --enable-checking 'CFLAGS=-O0 -g3' CPPFLAGS=-DGLYPH_DEBUG=1'

2. You probably also meant (cursor-type . bar), not (cursor-type . 'bar).

(With the quote I get a hollow red box, not a red bar.)

I do not see that either (on Windows).

Hm, the version you report from shows a build of 8/15 (FWIW, my build
is also from 8/15).

HTH.
