This looks like just bad UI design. The option to include the pointer already exists but it's disabled by default and not obvious because the button looks exactly like the mouse pointer itself (bottom right of the dialog). Please select that option in the screen recorder dialog before starting the recording.

The screen recording works as expected however does not display the mouse cursor making it hard to use the screen capture for a tutorial without using a third-party capture device.
