mutt's using the keypad function in ncurses, which means (in effect) that
anything that's in the terminfo will be interpreted as a KEY_xxx symbol,
and not as an escape sequence by the application. It's possible to
work with the escape sequences themselves (I did that in an application
earlier this year), but not really to mix the two styles.
If you're using the curses keypad() code, then it's possible in some
cases to have keys with different names attached to the same strings.
For instance, there's one application which looks for kll rather than
kend (joe), so terminfo/termcap entries that accommodate it will return
kll's keycode rather than kend because that one is found first.

There's more than one flavor: xterm-color is usually based on xterm-r6,
which is different from both rxvt and xterm-xfree86. I'd rather not
have xterm-color at all since it only confuses people.
