Had the same issue with a Windows Server and Ubuntu 22.04 Client.

Looks like a wayland issue - I fixed it by using Xorg.

This is a confirmed bug.
Just to add this workaround, steps in images helped and solved the issue.

Same problem on moving the cursor from the server Ubuntu 22.04 (X11) to the client ArchLinux (Wayland) machine.

In the client, the original cursor is still there, and the new one "coming" from the server it moves and interacts with the client, but is invisible.

EDIT: both the cursor are fully usable (checked read events in xev).
