Unfortunately, in xterm "0 q" is not the sequence to reset cursor style to what you configured. It always resets it to "blinking block". Which IMO is silly but I guess it probably matches the DEC behaviour and it's the way it is.
Anyway, in tmux we do need some way to reset to the actual default, so we added the Csr terminfo entry. It defaults to "steady block" because IIRC that is the actual default in xterm and anyway it's what I use. So if you send "0 q", tmux will send the value of Csr - which in the default terminal-overrides is "2 q" when TERM matches xterm*. You can change Csr to whatever you want the default cursor style to be. Or remove it to use "0 q" if that's what works for you. If tmux dies then tell me exactly what steps you have done. tmux will only send ANY cursor sequences when a pane has requested one, so that's why it doesn't change until you try to change the style.
