That's because of the following change:

2004-05-15  Kim F. Storm  <address@hidden>

        * emacs-lisp/timer.el (timer-activate): Add optional arg triggered-p.
        Use it to set triggered-p element of timer.
        (timer-event-handler): Set triggered-p element non-nil while running
        the timer function.

It also has the interesting effect of making the clock stop in my setup.
My modeline currently shows "9:20am".

Reverting the change fixes both the disappearing cursor and the clock
bug.  Kim?
