Xubuntu 12.04 (also reproduced on Ubuntu 12.04). Fresh install with latest updates. Problem appears when moving mouse pointer with left mouse button down. For example, when moving window by dragging its caption. Or when performing rectangular selection on Desktop. Or when dragging the scrollbar handle. When mouse pointer moving that way it flicker (blink) on every move. When I stop moving it (still holding left mouse button down) it disappears and appears again when I continue moving. Also it just disappears when I left-click without move and appears again only after mouse move. Interesting, that issue doesn't reproduces directly after the boot (or Xorg restart). No flickering when dragging windows, for example. However, after some program changes mouse cursor shape to animated "rotating progress indicator" (something like this http://cur.cursors- 4u.net/cursors/images6/cur593.gif) the curso begins to flicker when moving with button pressed (until next reboot or Xorg restart). Such program can be Update Manager or Ubuntu Software Center - they both switch mouse pointer shape to animated "in progress" indicator.
