I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter -- DisplayCursor is only ever called
while *both* cursors are still valid. Here's the DIX code:

        (*pScreen->DisplayCursor) (pDev, pScreen, cursor);
        FreeCursor(pSprite->current, (Cursor) 0);
        pSprite->current = RefCursor(cursor);

Note that InitializeSprite also sets pSprite->current *before* calling
DisplayCursor, which breaks your assumption. I don't think that matters
as it should only be done before a client could possibly know about the
device?

I can see why you might want to get rid of the magic array; seems like
this should just be using a private in the device.
