So what is the importance of moving focus out of the Emacs frame and
then back into it?  Is the problem reproducible without that?  Or are
you saying that focus-out followed by focus-in event somehow changes
the behavior wrt displaying the cursor?

Yes. The cursor only become invisible after a focus-out/focus-in event.
This isn't surprising given that blink-cursor-mode changes focus-in-hook and focus-out-hook. Probably the bug is hidden somewhere in the complex interaction between the various blink-cursor timers and hooks.
