That looks like the same issue that I ran into (the older version of
tic/infocmp can't handle the newer terminfo.src).  I solved it by
changing my build to use a newer tic/infocmp (in this case, the
most recent one, though in my earlier workaround on 20190609, "6.0"
was good enough).

That's what I was referring to here:

https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.html#t20190630

        + add --with-tic-path and --with-infocmp-path to work around problems
          building fallback source using pre-6.0 tic/infocmp.

(I test-build with fallbacks every week, on my mingw builds)
