On windows the pointer is not part of the pixel capture. I too
have not tried on mac. However, you could move the pointer out
of the way for example shift it to the right one pixel if
needed... the user may not care, if you think they do you can
always move it back to the left one pixel.

As far as seeing assistive tech, just don't support it, or if
you do, perhaps some other creative approaches can adjust for
it running. I personally have to weigh supporting blind users
agaist the effort it takes away from other important users like
dead people.
