No it does not, problematic are only the insert, replace and operator
states. But for that I can confirm.

All those states have a `:cursor` spec and that seems to override the
default as you found:

I think a variable that specifies that state-cursors should not override
the default cursor would fix it. I don't share your concerns as missing
values just mean that it won't be changed.
