Yes, cs8 is enabled.

temporary|test entry,
        km, npc, clear=CLEAR, cup=\201(%p2%c;%p1%c),
        el=CLR, cuu1=UP,

Here's the output that Emacs generates when starting:

0000000   C   L   E   A   R 001   (   ; 026   )   L   o   a   d   i   n
0000020   g       0   0   d   e   b   i   a   n   -   v   a   r   s   .
0000040   .   . 001   (   ;   ) 001   ( 030   ; 026   )   d   o   n   e
0000060 001   (   ;   ) 001   (  \b   ; 026   )   5 001   (  \n   ; 026

and from vi:

0000000 201   (   ; 026   )   C   L   R 201   (   ; 026   )       "   [
0000020   N   O       F   I   L   E   ]   "           1       l   i   n
0000040   e   ,       1       c   h   a   r       C   L   R 201   (   ;
0000060   )   C   L   R  \n  \r 201   (   ;   )   C   L   R  \n  \r   ~
