[ sorry for restarting the stale thread -- I found it in a google
search, and there didn't appear to be a clear resolution]

FWIW,  its started happening to me too, after an upgrade from 4.4 to
4.9.   

I was able to solve it by copying the terminfo file for xterm from a
debian linux box to ~/.terminfo/x/xterm.  I tried the
VT100.Translations approach, but that did not work for me.

I think something broke on our end between 4.4 and 4.9, as I'm running
the same mutt binary...
