Not sure if this is the same bug but I also get this too with 13.1, Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64.

It is not as regular as a true shell prompt (because of glitches), but I'm sure this is the cursor of the underlying TTY. If I try to switch to any other TTY, the focus remains on the desktop (eg. I can still click and type in Firefox) but the black cursor does move as I type. For example, I just switched to TTY 1 and was able to log-in (I see it because of the cursor position on the screen), while my username and my password were also written in the text-box where I'm writing this bug report. This bug is really odd and annoying.
