That's implausible.

It's supported in xterm by default (probably available everywhere except
OpenBSD, whose developers disable features randomly):

  --disable-tcap-query    disable termcap query/report

        Do not compile-in code to support DCS '+' control sequence, which
        allows an application to ask xterm what control sequences it would
        transmit for specified function keys, given the termcap or terminfo
        names.
 
There's a test-script for the feature

The chatter there provides less useful information than my response.

Perhaps you should get a developer involved :-)
