I don't think it is serious, since it is not normal in MS-Windows for windows that are not topmost to have input focus, and the problem only happens with some video drivers. The cursor display code has changed substantially in the trunk, partly because of the support for the system-caret (for blind users), so it is difficult to track down which change was necessary to prevent the cursor display problems.
