This is a bug in rxvt-unicode rather than ncurses.

Huh?  How?

1.  Open rxvt-unicode on host A.  This host has rxvt-unicode
   installed, and presumably has a termcap entry for it.
2.  SSH to host B.  This older host does not.

For this case, we can't solve his problem (simply because differences in function keys, etc., mean there is in general no well-defined subset to fall back to).

For the usual case (fallback to existing values) it's certainly doable since xterm does _that_.

Wouter wants host B to see a value in $TERM that can fall back to
xterm, if I understand right.

Obviously this wouldn't be helpful for years...
