Ok, I can see the point: 4.1.2 shows the real desktop, and since the desktop hasn't any cursor, then vnc doen't show any cursor. So it's not a bug.
Then I'd like to give a suggestion. Remote cursor is important, to know where you're really clicking. Since there're many machines (for example, remote servers in racks) that don't have any mouse connected, it would be useful to have an option to render the remote cursor. It could be implemented, for example, with an option in vncserver or, even better, with an automatic rendering of the cursor if no mouse is connected (or if no cursor is detected) in the server. In fact, MS Terminal Server automatically renders the remote cursor if there is no mouse connected. It would be useful to have that functionality in vnc.

If you look at the machine that doesn't have a mouse connected, you'll see that it doesn't have a cursor either.
