No, there is nothing in my shell initialization files (I'm a zsh fan, but
.zshrc just has aliases and .zlogin has `uptime`).  Upon further
investigation, however, I found that there was a difference between Eterm and
xterm.  An xterm has the $TERM of "xterm" and works fine, stty status == ^T.
Eterm starts with the $TERM of "xterm" and stty status == ^J.  I will follow
up to the Eterm mailing list, and tech-pkg.
