Well, I can't say I've experienced that problem, but now I'm wondering 
- are we talking about the icon which gets used in the tools palette, 
or the actual mouse cursor which is used in the two modes?

The icon in the palette, I have no real preference... it could be a 
happy face for all I care. The mickey hand cursor is what I've never 
liked. I believe the arrow tool as a cursor is more appropriate when 
browsing, as that is how ("real") applications which are not otherwise 
fiddling with the cursor actually work.
