Just a wee thing but if you have a 32 bit inventory graphic, and use a sprite for the hotspot marker, the hotspot marker becomes a hole through the inventory graphic when used as a Use Inv mouse cursor.
Is there Alpha Channel in the Hotspot marker?
Just a wild guess, the hotspot sprite and the inventory graphics were probably merged into one single sprite for use as a cursor, but the pixel transparencies weren't calculated orrectly (I guess for a semi-transparent pixel in the hotspot sprite, that Alpha value either replaced the Alpha value of teh resultant sprite or multiplied with the inv graphics Alpha value).
If that's the case, try using a hotspot sprite without Alpha channel (i.e. strictly opaque and strict transparent pixels) and see if the problem persists.
Finally found it:

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix the hotspot dot side of things, but for the hotspot sprite you'll need to use an alpha-channeled hotspot sprite in order to get it to work.
