You are correct, that patch is unrelated. However, it turns out that
ncurses-6.0 ships with new 'tmux' and 'tmux-256color' terminfos, which
appear to include the settings indicated in said FAQ. tmux should use
these instead of the screen terminfos.
I'm in the process of triple-checking that I have the correct options to
avoid ABI breakage in ncurses-6.0, at which point I'll upload and you
can use these instead.
