In case anyone was interested, the best solution I've been able to find is to use the NSContextHelpModeDidActivateNotification to detect when this mode is entered.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(helpContextModeActivated:)
name:NSContextHelpModeDidActivateNotification
object:nil];
When the selector is called, simply call:
[NSHelpManager setContextHelpModeActive:NO];
to deactivate the mode and change the cursor back.
Of course, one does see the cursor flicker, which is not desirable, but at least I can do what else I need to do.
