Subject: bug#30994: 27.0.50; Cursor doesn't blink (X window system)

Hello,
I start emacs -Q (under openbox in X on Debian if it matters), and I get
an Emacs where the cursor doesn't blink. Thankfully only on master but
not with an emacs-26 build.
The problem is simply that `blink-cursor-mode' is not turned on when
starting, but I can successfully enable it.
The reason is that at the moment the :init-value expression of
`blink-cursor-mode' is evaluated, `window-system' is bound to nil,
i.e. when installing the following:

I get a *Messages* buffer like
| window-system: nil
| For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
After starting up,
window-system
==> x
as expected.
Thanks,
Michael.
