You were sending to -stable, so I wasn't sure.  Thanks for confirming.

If I remember correctly, your original message mentioned seeing this
issue in emacs; have you tried reproducing it in a simpler test case?
Maybe something like:
(for i in $(jot 25); do echo; tput mr; echo -n "reverse"; tput me;
echo -n " regular"; done) && sleep 10000

That would presumably help narrow down the issue.
