At first, this was introduced as a bug in (early version of) glowmap shine-through fix. But some people (including myself) liked the new look. After all, it adds some immersion -- markers and cursor are not really parts of battlescape, they are just parts of UI. Rendering them as glowing makes them look detached from the combat arena, sort of "augmented in-game reality".
Also, people love shiny things :)

Not sure about applying this patch to the master though, so just publishing it at the tracker.
