Thanks, that makes sense.  For me it is broken in bookworm already, but
others have seen it only after upgrading ncurses to 6.3-1. For the
reference, the relevant change in ncurses is this:

,----
| 20210925
|       + add smglp and smgrp to vt420+lrmm, to provide useful data for the
|         "tabs" +m option -TD
`----

The neovim developers have pushed a workaround:

The vte problem of insufficient xterm compatibility has been reported as
well:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/2526

I am not quite sure what to do with this in ncurses.  As long as the
problem only affects neovim and VTE based terminal emulators I am
inclined to ignore it, but if it turns out to be more widespread I could
back out the new feature, like I did in #933053.

Cheers,
       Sven
