I have had the cursor of the dmz-theme when using xterm.
With xfce4-terminal I have faced the same situation as Chris.
The cursor has been the tiny one.

It might make a difference which gtk-version is used by the terminal.
With Debian-Bookwork any change in terminalrc did not help, too.

Finally I experimented with the files in /usr/share/icons.
There is an directory /usr/share/icons/default. It references
cat /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme
[Icon Theme]
Inherits=Adwaita

Just for testing with almost no hope I renamed the directory to 
/usr/share/icons/ddefault which seems to deactivate some default stuff.
May be there is an official way to deactivate the default icon theme.
If yes, this should be the way to go.

After this change the cursor of the dmz-theme has been available running
xfce4-terminal. The configuration is in ~/.Xresources as below.

Xcursor.theme:DMZ-White
Xcursor.size:48

Kind regards,
Christoph
