yes, we've noticed this exact same problem with an iframe on one of a stack of layered div's. the cursor disappears in the exact same area the iframe is positioned.

Yes I am having the same problem, even when the other layer is not initially position on it, but is moved over. Also appears to happen with overflow:scroll

I found a bug related to this issue in the mozilla bug database. There's a workaround for it there.
