I like the new feature in 23.1.94 of having the mouse pointer turn invisible when you are typing. However, if text is set to highlight when the pointer is over it, this still occurs when the invisible pointer is over something. This can be disorienting if you switch contexts into a buffer that has this. For example, if you're typing away and then switch to gnus, info, or any of the other many places where there is mouse-selectable text, some seemingly random text on the screen may be highlighted because the invisible cursor is over it. If possible, it seems like any behavior triggered by the mouse pointer being over something should be disabled when the mouse pointer is invisible.
