evil-mode has led my cursor to the dark side!

Hi,

evil-mode is so evil that it has stained my cursor black, as black as
the soul of evil-mode!

I upgraded to Emacs 24.1 from 23.4, and I noticed a new Themes feature,
so I set up the "tsdh-dark" theme, only to find that my cursor is now
black, even though the background color is a dark gray. At first I
thought some of my old customizations might have been conflicting with
the theming, but after cleaning up my ~/.emacs as follows, I found the
cursor remained black.

    ; specify packages for el-get
    (setq my-packages
          '(column-marker
            cython-mode
            evil
            evil-surround
            haskell-mode
            python-mode
            undo-tree))

    (setq evil-want-C-u-scroll t)
    ; load el-get
    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/el-get/el-get")
    (unless (require 'el-get nil t)
      (with-current-buffer
          (url-retrieve-synchronously
           "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el")
        (end-of-buffer)
