Yes.  This is what I said.

Ok.  This is what I was expecting, since AFAIK everything in Debian uses
libxcursor to access these cursors, and libxcursor from sarge claims to work
fine with /usr/share/icons.

I don't see any "ping-pong"ing here.  I see the location of the alternative
being changed, as desired for the R7 transition and with no confirmed ill
effects.

So please test again whether you can reproduce this regression to the 'core'
cursors, and if you can't I believe this bug should be closed.
