   Can you please make a test case starting with `emacs -q' which demonstrates
   this problem?

Sure.  Selecting any "Misc" font using shift-left-button-1 except for the 
default font gives rise
to a disappearing cursor (I haven't tried all of them, but I know that 10x20, 
9x15, 7x13 and
Fixed do this).  This is after I turn off the blinking cursor.  The Default 
font has a visible
cursor.

Thanks,

Mike
