I can confirm this does seem to 'fix' the issue. At first the seamless
mouse gets in some "hybrid state" where I can move the mouse out of the
window, but the Ubuntu screen still shows it stuck at the corner. When I
then resize the screen it snaps back to normal behaviour. I suppose that
supports the soft cursor theory.

Importantly VMware Player does *not* expose this setting as a UI option
(unless I'm completely blind), so I had to edit the .vmx file and
manually add:

mks.gamingMouse.policy = "absolute"

(from what I read this is the .vmx equivalent of the "never" policy)
