I guess this is not a problem because usually a border is visible around
non-transparent images with the cursor.

What a real problem is that displaying different types of cursors on small
transparent images is illogical now.  This is a serious UI problem.
Currently, the box cursor is displayed as a hollow cursor on images, but
the bar cursor is displayed as a filled box cursor.  But this should be
vice versa: the box cursor should be displayed as a box cursor that fills
transparent areas and has the 1-pixel border, but the bar cursor should be
displayed as a hollow cursor.
