Yes, the hourglass pointer usually appears if you move the mouse
(here, it's enough to move it slightly, I don't need to move it off
the Emacs frame and back).

What exactly is the prolonged operation Emacs does in the described
scenario? Some of them don't cause this pointer to appear for boring
technical reasons.
I'm also not sure, but the original report seemed to imply that
previous versions of Gnus did display the hourglass?
