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 cannot.

I looked at the code and cannot see how this could be happening.  The  
region face is set to ns_selection_color in ns-win.el, but this  
should be overridden by .emacs read later.  This should have been  
cleared up by David Reitter's changes around 2009-03-14, though since  
the ChangeLog entries are incomplete it is difficult to be certain  
when the last broken code was removed.

Anyway, if you still observe these in a recent build let me know and  
I'll go on a more thorough witch-hunt.


thanks,
Adrian
