System:  OS X 10.4.3, PowerBook G4 1GHz, 768 MB RAM

Result:  The cursor stays an I-beam after the window goes away.  Once I 
move the mouse over any area which would affect a change, the expected 
change happens.  So here, the problem is a minor one of the cursor not 
updating when the field closes.

As for the "junk" cursor image, as you sure you're using v2.6.1?

 From the v2.6.1 changelog:

   Bug 885: Corrupted cursor issue
   ~~~~~~~
   In previous engine versions, setting the defaultCursor
   property to a non built-in image and then setting the
   cursor to a non built-in image would result in the
   default cursor becoming corrupted. This has been fixed.
