Hollow cursor even if cursor-in-non-selected-windows is nil

,----[ NEWS ]
| ** When using a windowing terminal, each Emacs window now has a cursor
| of its own.  By default, when a window is selected, the cursor is
| solid; otherwise, it is hollow.  The user-option
| `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' controls how to display the
| cursor in non-selected windows.  If nil, no cursor is shown, if
| non-nil a hollow box cursor is shown.
`----

I've set `cursor-in-non-selected-windows' to `nil'.  But if 
`cursor-in-echo-area' is `t', I can see hollow cursors in non-selected
buffers.  This looks like an inconsistency to me.

Cheers, Ray
