Yes, off = on would solve the blinking. However, off != on would be *very* 
problematic:

Imagine you have the cursor on e.g. blue background. Instead of blinking 
between the original blue background and the cursor color, it would blink 
between the cursor color and the usual background color (because that is what 
you would usually set you cursor off color to).

Now the other issue I have with this approach:
If you set your off color to something that is not the background color, you 
will just blink between two colors. But who honestly wants that? It would be 
even more annoying than the blinking! :)
