I've tried your script on the default setting
and on "mlterm -f white -b black".

When default color (black on white) is used, the cursor couldn't
be seen because it's rendered by black on black background. 
In the latter case (white on black), I could see white rectangle.
These result seems to be identical to xterm/rxvt.

Are you requesting to draw cursor differently to be always visible?
I'm afraid it may rather annoying in some cases.

Don't mind. In this case, as far as cursor visibility is not touched,
It shouldn't matter anyway.
