Public bug reported: Could you please sync vte2.91 version 0.42.5 from Debian Unstable?
Currently Xenial beta ships 0.42.4. The difference is only one single tiny little change. Under some circumstances, vte failed to update the cursor shape when it was altered via an escape sequence. This was discovered by a neovim user. Neovim is a vim fork that's getting quite popular nowadays. One of its cool features is to reflect the mode in the cursor shape: block cursor in command mode, I-beam cursor in insert mode. Alas, due to this bug, the cursor shape did not immediately change from block to I-beam when entering insert mode. This is a significant usability annoyance for neovim users.
