This is an old not-a-bug issue, originally from the emacs users. Emacs changes the cursor state (and iirc prefers using cvvis, and doesn't reset it with cnorm).
It became a noticeable issue with this change in ncurses:
990703 pre-release
+ modify linux terminfo description to make use of kernel 2.2.x mods
that support cursor style, e.g., to implement cvvis (patch by Frank
Heckenbach <fr...@g-n-u.de>)
Before that change, emacs found no data for cvvis in the terminal database
(emacs of course uses "ve" from termcap), and did not modify the cursor
state.
Lacking any information from the reopening of this report, I'll have to
assume it's just emacs again.
