Not a "glitch". This is actual OS intended behavior.
Imagine this scenario -- you have a visible mouse cursor. You're holding it down and drawing a pretty little line towards the latest country that annoyed you and you want to nuke...
...suddenly...POOF!! Your mouse pointer is gone!!...
...OH NO!! You just nuked your girlfriend's house by accident!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The OS can't know how important what you're doing is, nor what your threshold level is for things disrupting your work flow... If you're interacting with the mouse, via a button down or other such "major event", the OS isn't going to touch those mouse settings with a ten-foot pole!
Think of it much like trying to delete a file and getting the message, "You can't do that Pete. That file's open in another program!" New processes generally don't engage with resources or their settings if they're in use by another process. (Unless you've jumped through hoops and specifically marked them as multi-process enabled, which I don't even know if that's possible with the mouse.)
