Could you expand on how it fails?

Duh, sorry!!   Here's the most egregious case:

I've tried to muse a little, but I might be totally off base here.

As far as I know, the hidden wrap flag do exist on xterm, as well as VT200 and newer terminals. So I'm mostly curious about trying to figure out in which way it differs.
(For comparison I can mention that PuTTY does not, and it is one standing issue I have with that program, as I actually use this "feature" in a program I wrote (ZEMU to be precise).)
So I did stumble upon this many years ago, and thought I knew how it worked. Your comments about a VT100 failing, and relating this to that same flag is making me curious...
Also, it would seem that, according to your posting here, John, some letters are doubled on a VT100. Even more weird.

I should probably look at the actual stream of bytes coming in. But if you have any more light to shed, I'm really interested here. But we can take this offlist.
