Frankly, the usual "solution" for nested or virtual X servers is to just
ignore the cursor position assignment.

I would still very much like to have the change if it considered acceptable, and can submit an fixed patch like the one for set_cursor_argb() and friends to force a driver build break. Of course if you tell me it is something that you would rather not have in I can leave it at that.
