Many thanks, Eric, for this information.

I am indeed running on XP.  Plain "gumby" works on my system, and the color
specs do not.  I ran the following test from wish:

proc createWindowWithCursor {} {
 toplevel .panel
 text     .panel.text
 .panel.text configure -cursor {gumby red green}
 pack .panel.text
}

This yields: bad cursor spec "gumby red green"

-cursor gumby or -cursor {gumby} work as expected, so this looks to me like
a Tk problem on Windows XP.
