As I see it the problem is different:  People now run with TERM=xterm
by default, so all the worries you describe are already occuring.
There will be misbehaviours, already.

I said "minimal xterm", for a reason.  Surely an intentional minimal
xterm model is doable, considering people are using xterm against the
codebase already.
