Ok, found the issue: try

tput init.exe

that should work. The problem is how the is_init variable is set in
progs/tput.c:check_aliases():
    is_init = (strcmp(name, PROG_INIT) == 0);
PROG_INIT is defined in the transform.h file, generated by the Makefile:         echo "#define PROG_INIT      \"$(actual_init)\""      >>$@
and
 actual_init      = `echo init$x|      $(TRANSFORM)`
i.e. PROG_INIT has the pending .exe extension.

Check_aliases() should just discard any extension when comparing name
and PROG_INIT/PROG_RESET.

Regards,
Samuel
