I've tracked down the problem. At least it isn't related to XFree86.
No it doesn't work, not with the current ncurses / terminfo / mutt that
we have, I'm not sure why you can't reproduce it but I've been able to get
others to reproduce it as well.

The 1.3.x are development versions. As far as that goes, it would be probably
better to keep it up to date, that we don't revert back to an old version
because it looks better (cosmetic) with ncurses than in slang. (If it is true
I can try and do a diff).
