I've been following this bug since Lucid, which was when I noticed this
behaviour. Not sure if this helps, but this is how I worked-around the
same behaviour under Compiz on Arch (see the last comment):

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18923

Basically I was getting the ugly black X pointer when performing certain
actions like dragging a Firefox tab, however it seems the mouse theme
has more to do with it than any code fix (even though Compiz still might
be at fault).

To be totally honest, I set my themes / pointers etc up to emulate
Jaunty and it worked. I'm not saying that it's not a stupid Compiz bug,
but this is how you can work around it if you're ok with some of your
pointers being from a base cursor theme that is better looking than the
black X theme.
