Neat. Thanks for sharing. In the meantime I've been trying the other
terminals with strange names, and I've found that TERM=dtterm actually
works quite well. Aptitude, mutt, and screen are all happy.
Perhaps this is a side note. While OS X Term is a decent app, I use
iTerm and have quite enjoyed it. The colors also seem to work well in
it along with other nice features.
Before leopard I used iTerm (I'm addicted to tabs). It worked well most
of the time but I was experiencing a very frustrating bug from time to
time. At random times (always the most inconvenient moments) input to
ncurses programs (mutt, vim, screen - there goes productivity) was
completely screwed up. Backspace, =, ;, and other apparently unrelated
keys would become other characters. This would continue for usually at
least 10 minutes, sometimes much longer, and against all logic it had
nothing to do with restarting iTerm, or even restarting or sleeping the
computer. My only recourse was to bring up Terminal.app (which worked
fine) or not use a terminal for a time and come back later and hope it
would work.
Naturally, with a bug like that (no progress was ever made in fixing it
- I'm sure they just think I'm nuts), I was quite thrilled when
leopard's terminal met my needs enough to replace it.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
