IIRC you said on IRC that xterm would be the only one where some
feature is announced via terminfo that would not cause this issue.

But I use xterm (uxterm actually, not sure if that makes a
difference) and still have that issue, so I'm wondering why.

I don't think we should do the guessing thing / open pandora's box,
but if it's supposed to work out-of-the-box on some specific terminal
implementations and it doesn't, we should have a look. :-)
