I have tested two cards with the hardware cursor: 
Permedia 2 (pm2fb) and Voodoo-3 (tdfxfb).

Both cards use the hardware cursor and both does
not produce the bug you have described.
I have used the Xorg version 7.2 included in the
Slackware 12 and a current git version of the kernel
(updated two days ago).

I do not have the ATI Mach64 card to test it.
I will test my cards with the kernel 2.6.24.

Either, this bug is related only to the atyfb driver
or it was solved in the current kernel.
I looked into the atyfb driver code and I did not
 see anything suspicious there.

Kind regards,
Krzysztof
