I solved it (for the moment) by patching st, as patching st
is something you most likely do anyways. The patch, including
a description, can be found on the suckless wiki [1].
There's just one issue left: when using the new termname
(st-git), i hit this bug [2] in perls Term::Cap.pm (e.g. when
using pkg_add), which is not fixed yet apparently. The code
for Term::Cap is now on github [3], so i could send a merge
request, but this needs testing first.
Here is the diff i'm rebuilding -current with right now:

Please test, the last time this was mentioned there was not much
progress.
