Let me be more precise:

- If I unset TERM, the behavior is identical to not calling setupterm()
- If I set TERM to "dummy" , the behavior is identical to not calling 
setupterm()
- If I set TERM to "ansi", or leave it xterm-256color, some cursor placement 
happens but, for example, when moving around the update of line and column 
numbers happen in the middle of the screen, instead of the status bar.
