It's obscure, but debatable whether it's a bug.

ncurses turns the terminal keypad mode off in endwin, but doesn't
resume the keypad mode until it prepares to read a character via
wgetch.

That's done (implicitly) to make initialization a little more
efficient (escape sequences are written as needed).

There's no direct way to force that to be reset, other than by using
the private function _nc_keypad (whose interface does change over
time...).

If you're not insistent that it's using select() followed by read(),
you could do

        nodelay(stdscr, TRUE);

and read the data via getch().
