The problem is that Debian/stable still provides ncurses 5.4.
So, there must be a fix for Debian.
Also, concerning Mac OS X, though I have ncurses 5.5 installed (via
MacPorts), the problem is that several programs are written for curses
(instead of ncurses), and ncurses 5.5 doesn't provide compatibility
links. I've already reported a few bugs for MacPorts and written a few
fixes, e.g.

But this time, these characters break "less"!

And I don't know if this is related to changes in ncurses:
