Tested with NetBSD 7.99.39 (GENERIC.201609300910Z) amd64.  Is this a known problem?  (The problem does not occur with ncurses from pkgsrc.)

As with your other post, we need to check the specification and see what
is supposed to happen.  In general we will follow the specification for
curses unless that is unclear/undefined at which point we will adopt
ncurses behaviour (yes, there are exceptions to this - when there is
good reason).

The specification I am referring to is here:
