Micah, since the purpose of terminfo is to recognize what xterm does, it
seems to me that suggesting that xterm  should follow what terminfo says
it does is putting the cart before the horse. terminfo doesn't describe
what xterm should do, it (should) describe what xterm *does*.

Of course, it is also possible that the change in xterm's behaviour was
unintentional and therefore a bug.

MC/vim/irssi are definitely not at fault, as they simply rely on ncurses
to tell them that a function key has been hit.
