/me too, also in GWorkspace. Where I can reproduce it easily, is for example
when I drag 'n drop an Application to the Dock at the right side. Afterward
the arrow stays green.
Another example which always works is, when I start drag n' drop an application
from the file viewer, and then stopping the drag 'n drop while still over the 
file viewer. Then the mouse arrow always stays the "not allowed" icon.
Another example in GWorkspace file Viewer: when I hover the mouse
over the bar that resizes the space for the bookmarks, then the mouse arrow
becomes the up/down arrow. To get to that, the File Viewer window must
be the active window.
The mouse arrow is also only "broken" for the given application.
I.e. hovering over the File Viewer, or over the desktop -> broken icon,
hovering over a window from another application, (no matter whether GNUstep
or differnt) then the icon switches back to something expected.
