Try a different (x)cursor theme. The way they work, if one of the specific cursors is missing it'll fall back to a different one, worst-case, ultimately back to whatever the default pointer is. It's also relatively common for some of the cursors in a theme to be symlinked to others as appropriate because as the standard developed some desktops looked for one name, some another, for similar functionality. If a particular theme doesn't have whatever cursor's being called (likely because whoever developed it didn't run into anything actually needing that cursor) and it ends up falling back to the default cursor, the behavior would be pretty much exactly as described here -- no change from the default cursor to indicate directional-dragability. So try a few different xcursor themes (which are still used on wayland despite the xcursor name, BTW) and see if at least some of them have a changing directional-drag-cursor as appropriate/expected. If some do but other than the missing cursors you still prefer the theme missing theme enough to bother, try comparing a working theme against your bad one to see which cursor names ones are missing in the bad one and consider manually creating symlinks, either to other cursors in that theme or to those of another theme, to fill the gap. (There's actually a way to configure fallbacks too, and of course it's possible to create your own cursors as fill-ins or to do your own entire theme, but other than an initial pointer to the xcursor manpage that's well out of scope for this post and well beyond what I've done personally. But I do occasionally download new cursor themes and switch between them as the whimsy occurs, and have occasionally come across some incomplete/buggy ones.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
