Thanks for the links.

TERM is set to 'linux', or 'screen.linux' in screen when I mostly use
those apps.

tput cnorm sets the cursor back to the default, so maybe cnorm is
being set. According to infocmp for linux, cnorm is set to \E?25h.
Screen has an extra \E[34h at the start. I'll experiment a bit and
see what happens if I change it.
