I confirm. I've installed a 2.6.22 kernel (with CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS
unset) on my x86 machine with eightBitInput set to false, and I've
no problems with xterm (229-1).
I should have made it clear that I am using a (the latest package) stock 2.6.22 (486) kernel. It would seem that I must have made some kind of install mistake to lead to:

xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
