I believe this is the intended behavior. You can alter the position of
the cursor by using the following hook:

,----
| org-agenda-after-show-hook is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
| Its value is shown below.
| 
|   This variable is potentially risky when used as a file local variable.
| 
| Documentation:
| Normal hook run after an item has been shown from the agenda.
| Point is in the buffer where the item originated.
