Confirmed.  I think this is related to redisplay cycles: in some
situations we forget to change the cursor type back to the arrow
shape.  I will try to look at this when I have time, unless someone
beats me to it.  Thanks.

Btw, there's a similar slightly annoying problem with the cursor
shape: start with the mouse pointer outside the Emacs frame, and then
move the mouse so that it enters the Emacs frame's tool bar from the
right, where normally there are no buttons---the cursor shape retains
its <--> shape until you either move out of the tool bar or hit the
first button.  The correct behavior would be to have the <--> shape
only on the border of the frame, and then immediately switch to the
normal arrow shape.
