The idea behind it is that scare_mouse() does nothing if a hardware cursor
is in use and the mouse is being displayed on the physical screen.

Yes. Have you checked that it really doesn't?
As an aside, it's a bit silly to asynchronously draw the mouse to a memory
surface. ;)

Yes, removing it probably isn't a good idea for the reason I gave above.
Better make an additional check for the case you mentioned, and maybe
clean up the code a bit ;)
From what I remember, scare_mouse() is quite a mess.
