That surprises me; as far as I know, xterm uses luit for its ISO 2022
implementation (at least in UTF-8 mode), and I'd be surprised if Thomas
released a version of xterm that didn't pass vttest.
I can't find a test in vttest labelled "Save and restore cursor", or
"ISO 2022", although I'm not terribly familiar with it. Can you point
out which tests fail with luit?
