I see this also.
For reference, I think it's a vi issue as:
imfocmp reports the bell
tput bel (or tput bl) sounds the bell fine
vim sounds the bell fine, as does sh with cursor beyond line
vi does not even flash the window when inside a tmux session

Saying all of that, I did patch vi to work with our new terminfo, but 
don't see anyting that would have affected this ...

Thanks
