But the screen captures in the bug report seem to show a small cursor and the above A11Y setting on the test system has Cursor Size: Normal (ie the very minimum of the slider)

I can confirm that the changing the size of the cursor on that setting page can change the visibility of the cursor on the screenshot. If the cursor is "small" then it is completely invisible, if the cursor size is changed above some threshold it became visible on the screenshot. So it might be a case when on that system the default cursor is bigger that the threshold.

So probably the local settings is not default/changed, and what is shown on the setting you see is for remote view?
