A summary here would be that different xterm implementations are incompatible.
Hence, there are different xterm-* entries in both termcap and terminfo.  Our
previous termcap "xterm" entry was a mixture of older and newer entries, but
lost some features of both.  I'm not sure that it's sensible to restore it
for our terminfo "xterm" entry though.

Thanks,
