Do you have the "use dots 7 and 8 to display cursor" checked? If so, this will cause whatever vo is focused on to be underlined by dots 7 and 8. Turning this off will not actually get rid of the blinking cursor, it will just eliminate the annoying highlight problem. This option is in the layout tab of the braille category in the vo utility.
