Hmm, I see.  The problem relates to the switching to an alternate
screen.  In termcap(5) terms, the ti/te capabilities.  On OpenBSD
this is enabled by default.  On FreeBSD it isn't, because haters.

This will give you an xterm with alternate screen switching disabled...

$ xterm -xrm 'XTerm*titeInhibit: 1'

... which should allow you to see the other side of the problem.

No, that restores the original problem.
