strace shows that gnome-terminal is sending cursor-key escape sequences
to less.  This is not documented in gnome-terminal (of course - vte is
notable for its absence of documentation), and whatever it may refer to
in vte's changelog is unclear.

so it just happens to work.

(e)links(2) is using a different mechanism: it's turned on xterm's
any-event mouse reporting mode (which gnome-terminal happens to
implement).

so there's no bug to report here.
