FYI, this is the discussion thread that led to that change in default behavior: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-07/msg00529.html FWIW, I agree with you that this is not the right _default_ behavior. By default, the cursor should be more noticeable, and anyone not wanting that should be able to easily make it less noticeable.
