Cursors refuse to animate on ThinkPad X230

[SurrealMustard]

I've been working with this new ThinkPad X230 and am pretty happy with where everything is at now. Unfortunately, I've encountered a weird bug where any of Windows's mouse pointers that should be animated (namely the "busy" and "working in background") are simply not animated. If I go into the pointer settings and switch to a different set of pointers, it'll work fine until the next time that TrackPoint scrolling is used. With a 768 pixel-tall display, I do a lot of scrolling. Has anyone ever seen this phenomenon before? If so, is there any advice from the community to allow animated mouse pointers and TrackPoint scrolling?

If it helps, the PC is on the latest (17134) build of Windows 10 and has the newest (19.0.17.135) UltraNav driver from Lenovo's website.
