If this is true, maybe it is a redisplay bug.

Could you try interrupting Emacs through gdb when this occurs, and
inspecting Vtimer_list to see if the `blink-cursor-timer-function'
timer is still active?

Another avenue of investigation is to add (redisplay) to
`blink-cursor-timer-function'.  If that stops the problem, that means
there is a redisplay bug.

I have unfortunately been unable to reproduce this bug.
