I know the answer to that one, I think. It happens when you use the 
message box to show a file dialog (or when you have been typing into a 
field) and hit the return key to execute the command. When typing, the 
mouse pointer normally is hidden (replaced by the insertion point). If 
you open a file dialog while the insertion point is present, the mouse 
pointer doesn't reappear when the file dialog opens.

I bugzillaed it some time ago. The workaround for now is to jiggle the 
mouse before executing the command from the message box. I always forget 
to do that, of course.

This is different from the disappearing Windows cursor, which I thought 
got fixed before the last release. Does it still happen in 2.7?
