I have been digging a bit into this - and found a workaround.
I somehow think that it is a bug in the gnome theme manager and its handling
of index.theme files.
A index.theme now:
$ cat /usr/share/icons/ComixCursors-Black-Large/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Name=Comix Cursor Black Large Bold
Comment=The original Comix Cursors - Black Large Bold
Example=default
If I do a s/=/ = / - it does not appear any more in gnome theme manager.
$ cat /usr/share/icons/ComixCursors-Black-Large/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Name = Comix Cursor Black Large Bold
Comment = The original Comix Cursors - Black Large Bold
Example = default
I consider reassigning this bug to gnome, or maybe just upload a workaround
