It is certainly a nasty behaviour.

To overcome it, you should insert the line

CURSOR,xdummy,ydummy,4

directly after your CURSOR,isx,... call.

This forces IDL to wait for the button to be RELEASED again.

BTW:

CURSOR,isx,isy,wait=3

is probably not what you meant to code. (wait in the description is a
parameter, not a keyword)
To make the procedure return at the button-down transition, you type either

CURSOR,isx,isy,/down

or

CURSOR,isx,isy,3

Your command made IDL wiat for the button being depressed.
However, correcting this does not change the nasty behaviour you noticed,
so that the CURSOR,...,...,4 call is necessary
