After building Emacs 24.5 and observing the same issue there, I've
decided to try to set blink-cursor-interval to something that is not
an integer divider of 1 sec. So I set it to 0.53 sec, and lo and
behold, the problem disappeared: the cursor blinks and blinks, and
never stops blinking, even when there's JIT Stealth working in the
background, as well as other stuff, as always in my sessions.
So I think at least what I observed is somehow related to the specific
value of 0.5 sec. Perhaps some other timer of other periodic activity
(auto-save?) that runs at an integral multiple of 0.5 sec gets in the
way somehow. E.g., it could toggle the cursor twice before the next
redisplay cycle. Or something.
