I've marked a bunch of other reports in Launchpad as duplicates of this
one, since this one seems to have the highest signal-to-noise; hope
that's OK.

Possibly-useful additional information:
* On the workaround: this bug is triggered when a zoom is done with at least "Scale the mouse pointer" and "Hide original mouse pointer" in Enhanced Zoom Desktop's configuration. Once it's triggered, that's it; unchecking "Hide original mouse pointer" won't bring your pointer back until X is restarted, but once restarted, you won't lose it again.
* However, that workaround doesn't help if you want to use the (disabled-by-default) "Toggle zoom area lock", because the original mouse pointer is in the wrong place. (Maybe that's a different bug. LP#180830 refers.)
* A few of the duplicated bugs and posts on Ubuntu Forums (e.g. <http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3664399&postcount=13>) refer to a link-rotted blog post by a Compiz Fusion developer, Kristian Lyngstøl; since it took me a while to track down, here it is: <http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~kristian/2007/08/25/xfixes-the-problem-and-the-dirty-workaround/>. (Another post on this subject by Kristian: <http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3167896&postcount=26>. However, I'm not sure these references add much to what's already in this bug.)

(Yes, I am running into this, on Jaunty.)
