I've been playing with themes in cinnamon recently and noticed, that even if I have different cursor theme applied, when I'm hovering the cursor over some windows (vlc, steam, etc) it changes back to default Adwaita. I've tried solutions described in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131065 but none of this helped. Also, when changing cursor theme using lxappearance (not default cinnamon theme manager) and hovering over these windows, the cursor changes to previously used theme (for example, if I used polar cursors and then switched to arch linux theme cursor, everywhere in my system arch linux cursor theme is applied, but when hovering over these windows, polar theme shows).

LXAppearance generates ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Get rid of both those files as they just confuse the issue. Make sure your preferred cursor theme is set in Cinnamon itself and in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme and that should eliminate the inconsistencies.
Note: don't worry about editing the /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme file if needed, it won't be overwritten on updates.

I've got lxappearance after noticed existence of this bug, so it's unlikely that it is the source of this problem. I did everything stated above, but it didnt help though.

Well I don't understand how that's possible. If the theme specified in index.theme is the same as the one applied by the cinnamon-settings-daemon then there should be no inconsistencies... Have you got any other files such as ~/.icons/default/index.theme or possibly ~/.local/share/icons/default/index.theme? If so get rid of them. You should only have the one in /usr/share. Have you got any other config files in your home dir that might specify a cursor theme perhaps?

I've checked everything, but this bug appears even on clean arch-cinnamon installation.

~/.icons/default/index.theme
This was the one messing my system up.
Funny that it had a theme that I tested a week ago and, for some reason, it got stuck in there and not the updated theme.
