FYI, this is the discussion thread that led to that change in
default behavior:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-07/msg00529.html

FWIW, I agree with you that this is not the right _default_
behavior.  By default, the cursor should be more noticeable,
and anyone not wanting that should be able to easily make it
less noticeable.
