If there's no new information here, there's nothing to fix (the fixes are
in ncurses 5.5, and there's no way other than by breaking the related
fixes for luit to make ncurses 5.4 work as you want).

Also note (as you already did) that there's a known workaround (use the
terminal description that uses the single-character ^N and ^O rather than
\E(B, etc.
