I would like to suggest a potential fix to this issue. Here is what
happens when you run update-alternatives:

==
$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme
There are 7 choices for the alternative x-cursor-theme (providing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme).

  Selection    Path                                     Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme          50        auto mode
  1            /etc/X11/cursors/core.theme               30        manual mode
  2            /etc/X11/cursors/handhelds.theme          20        manual mode
  3            /etc/X11/cursors/oxy-white.theme          50        manual mode
  4            /etc/X11/cursors/redglass.theme           20        manual mode
  5            /etc/X11/cursors/whiteglass.theme         20        manual mode
  6            /usr/share/icons/DMZ-Black/cursor.theme   30        manual mode
  7            /usr/share/icons/DMZ-White/cursor.theme   50        manual mode

Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

As we can observe above oxy-white (the KDE cursor theme) is set to
automatic mode and status of 50. Would it not resolve the bug to change
this value or switch it to manual mode by default? Another idea is to
have debconf ask the user for which cursor they would like although I
like this idea less because it will not allow a seamless installation of
kubuntu-desktop.
