The C level is definitely involved, because it is the one which
actually runs the timers. But is the C level involved in the bug?
I'm not sure, as I saw no evidence to that effect yet.

The blink-cursor-start timers are added by blink-cursor-check, so
perhaps the problem is there? E.g., it doesn't check timer-idle-list,
it only checks that blink-cursor-idle-timer is nil.
The function blink-cursor-check is called from two places:
post-command-hook and handle-focus-in (via focus-in-hook). Could it
be that in your scenario two timers are started due to this?
