Indeed: with 'dash' instead of 'bash' there is no issue.

I see. And when I use 'TERM=xterm vi <some_file>', I see ?25h and ?25lm
which come from the 'cnorm' and 'civis' ("cursor_normal" and "cursor_invisible"
[1]) capabilities.

Maybe these sequences are used as defaults for 'cnorm' and 'civis' (which
'mach-gnu-color' does not have)?
