Sorry, this is as designed.  Before my time, the UI folks at Sun
decided that the medium thin cursor was the way to go.  Basically, the
--with-sparcworks flag gives you whatever Sun decided should go into
Sun's own distribution of XEmacs.

From sunpro-init.el:

    ;; Bar cursor 2 pixels wide
    (setq bar-cursor 2)


Of course, you can set it back in .emacs:

bar-cursor's value is 2
  -- a simple built-in variable.

Documentation:
Use vertical bar cursor if non-nil.  If t width is 1 pixel, otherwise 2.
