Well, there isn't a "red cursor." All the cursors for players were either Green or Orange. Red was reserved for Very hostile monsters.

So there is a possibility that he could have gotten his Orange status cleared after some time.

But it's also possible that the animators never realized this. But that's a more boring answer xP
