from man stty:

     iexten (-iexten)    Enable (disable) special control charac-
                         ters not currently controlled by icanon,
                         isig, ixon,  or  ixoff:  VEOLZ,  VSWTCH,
                         VREPRINT, VDISCARD, VDSUSP, VWERASE, and
                         VLNEXT.

I don't think (n)curses does that (it sounds like an intermediate step between
cbreak and raw mode).  If my impression is correct, you could in principal
modify the terminal settings to iexten after calling cbreak.
