Just out of curiosity, commit r1792 should fix this and set this flag
per default when connecting to the server. This fix was verified
working and is included in release 1.8.2.

You mentioned that you tested 1.8.2 and could produce this issue, could
you please double check if that is the case. If so, could it be that
you had a domain policy that overrided the pointer shadow settings ?
