I installed the GDM login manager and the gnome-shell desktop
environment to test your hypothesis. I observe the same behaviour there.

Even if it was "window-manager specific" as you say, I think that is a
backwards way of thinking about it. This is happening in a *minimal*
configuration where Emacs is running directly under X.

Having third-party programs hide the issue by taking control over the
theming of the mouse pointer shouldn't be the base case here.
