In Emacs 24, the doc for the cursor face will say:

  Currently, only the `:background' attribute is meaningful; all
  other attributes are ignored.

With regards to the region face:

This line was removed from ns-win some time ago, so I imagine this is
fixed too.

Please open a new report if there are still issues in the latest version.

I can't reproduce this, so it's likely a bug on NS.  Adrian, can you
reproduce it?
