I prefer to have them (libraries compiled by the user) in a separate
directory. Applications that use ncurses should also be recompiled.

But in addition to my Mac OS X machine, I have lots of accounts,
so that this is annoying.

For several things, Mac OS X is more up-to-date than Debian/stable.

I think I'll change that back to \E[m because of this problem.

Well the applications that use line-drawing seem to use rmacs
explicitly (I think they should all do that for a few years
for compatibility). Then having the rmacs escape sequence in
sgr0 is useless for these applications, isn't it?

I also have the following in my precmd() in zsh:

  [[ -n $zsh410 && -n $TTY && -n $terminfo ]] &&
    print -n "$terminfo[rmacs]$terminfo[sgr0]" > $TTY
