I am fairly sure R3 Xt simply does not work right when you try to open
multiple displays.  (Some of the Xt-private state information is not
correctly tagged according to which display it belongs to, so Xt tries
to use some things on displays they didn't come from.  From your quoted
error message, it seems it does this with a Cursor in your case.)

I have a vague memory of hearing that R4 was supposed to be better, but
I also seem to recall hearing that the R4 Xt still doesn't work right.
Since I don't use Xt, I really can't say.  (I can say that at the Xlib
level this is entirely a non-problem, even back in R3.)
